Sustainable Design Strategies
Bike Storage
372 residential bicycle spaces and 44 visitor/retail spaces.
Bicycle parking available at-grade and underground
Rainwater Harvesting
1.96 m3 tank – holds 1,960 litres of water
A cistern collects water on rainy days and stores the water for future use and was designed to capture enough rainwater required for irrigation during a two-week drought period. The landscaping will be watered using this harvested rainwater
Water Efficient Fixtures and Fittings
40 per cent better than Ontario Building Code standards
Suites are equipped with low flow plumbing fixtures, which contribute to the building’s overall water use reduction rate of 42 per cent
Construction Waste Diversion
75 per cent diverted
75-83 Mutual Street reduced the amount of construction waste it sent to landfill by implementing a construction waste management plan and working with waste haulers to divert 75 per cent of waste construction materials
ERVs, Fan coils and Improved Air Quality
Each suite is uniquely enhanced with an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system. The ERV delivers fresh outdoor air directly into each suite while recovering up to 60 per cent of the energy of the exhaust air leaving the suite, meaning less energy is needed to heat or cool the unit.
The ERV continuously exchanges the air in the suite by exhausting stale air from washrooms, laundry closets, and kitchens and replenishes these spaces with fresh air. This continuous ventilation stream improves indoor air quality by removing pollutants from your home
Humidity Control
Each bathroom exhaust fan has an adjustable built-in humidity sensor, which turns the fan on when the humidity exceeds the setting on the switch – helping to prevent the build up of mold and mildew.
Low Emitting Materials
Environmentally friendly underlays, hardwood, ceramic flooring and low-toxicity paints in each suite significantly reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air.
Multi-Chute Recycling
At 73-85 Mutual Street, every floor is equipped with a sealed garbage chute room with a bi-sorter, providing choices for proper disposal.
Energy Efficient Measures
Efficient Lighting
Each suite is equipped with high efficiency LED compact fluorescent lights. These lights last up to ten times longer and consume less than one-quarter of the energy compared to their incandescent counterparts. Additionally, corridor and garage lights are controlled by occupancy sensors that turn lights off when areas are unoccupied.
ENERGY STAR® Appliances
ENERGY STAR® appliances are standard in every suite and include a stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher and front-loading washing machine. ENERGY STAR® qualified products use 30 per cent less energy to do the same job as non- ENERGY STAR® qualified products, saving homeowners money while creating fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Programmable Thermostat
The fully programmable thermostat enables control of the temperature and airflow in your suite. The thermostat allows homeowners to set the temperature to their comfort level when home and adjust for increased energy savings when you are out of the suite over a seven-day schedule.
Sub-metering Utilities
Each suite is equipped with three sub-meters. The meters measure thermal energy (heating and cooling), electricity, and hot water consumption, which means residents are only billed for their in-suite consumption.
