Rain Water Harvesting (53.7m3 tank – holds 53,700L)

Water Efficient Fixtures and Fittings (35% better than OBC standards)

Construction Waste Diversion (93% Diverted)

Construction waste sent to landfill was reduced by implementing a construction waste management plan and working with waste haulers to divert more than 93% of construction waste materials.

HRVs, Fan coils and Improved Air Quality

Each suite is uniquely enhanced with a heat recovery ventilator (HRV). Suites are equipped to bring fresh outside air directly into the suite through the HRV whereas typical condominiums receive corridor air from under the entry door. The HRV delivers fresh, filtered outdoor air to each suite and circulates that fresh air throughout the suites for improved ventilation and living comfort.

Low Emitting Materials

Environmentally friendly underlay, hardwood, ceramic flooring and low-toxicity paints in each suite significantly reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air.

Multi-Chute Recycling

Every floor is equipped with a sealed garbage chute room with a bi-sorter plus a single chute, providing three choices for disposal.

All-Off Switch and Green Plugs

The all-off switch, located at the entrance of the suite, provides simple convenient in-suite lighting and plug control. One flick turns off all fixed lighting and designated green plugs.

Efficient Lighting

Each suite is equipped with LED kitchen track lighting and CFLs throughout. These lights last up to 10 times longer and consume less than one-quarter of the energy compared to their incandescent counterparts.

ENERGY STAR® Appliances

ENERGY STAR appliances are standard in every suite and include stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher and front-loading washing machine. ENERGY STAR qualified products use 30% less energy to do the same job as non-ENERGY STAR qualified products, saving homeowners money while creating fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

Sub-metering Utilities

Electricity, hot water and cold water are individually metered ensuring homeowners only pay for their in-suite consumption.
