Each suite is uniquely enhanced with a stand-alone Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system, which delivers fresh outdoor air directly into each suite while recovering over half of the energy of the exhaust air leaving the suite. The ERV continuously exchanges the air in a unit by exhausting stale air from washrooms, laundry closets and kitchens, replenishing them with fresh air.
Also referred to as the “NetZed Suite”, this suite achieves “net zero” energy consumption, by generating enough energy to offset the energy it uses through dedicated solar PVs located on the building rooftop.
