Sustainability – Our Strategy
Energy & Water Efficiency
- State of the art Heating and Cooling Systems
- Water and/or air heat recovery systems
- Solar photovoltaic systems installed to offset consumption
- State of the art back up electrical system that can provide auxiliary benefit to the grid and the community by combining on site solar photovoltaics with onsite energy storage
- Net Metering
- Stainless steel Energy Star appliances: refrigerators, ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers
- Enhancing insulation to save on heating and cooling costs
- High-efficiency lighting fixtures to provide warm-coloured light while using a fraction of the energy of incandescent bulbs. The fixtures also produce much less heat, which places lower demands on air conditioning and ultimately provides further savings on your energy bill
- High performance toilets
- Low-flow showerheads and faucets tested for effectiveness
Transportation Choices
- Consideration of proximity to nearby public transportation, allowing residents and occupants to travel around town quickly and effortlessly
- Large, secure bicycle/locker storage rooms to facilitate bike commuting
- EV charging stations with service capable of increasing with demand over time
Other Sustainable Initiatives
- Smart growth infill sites through building reuse, heritage preservation, use of existing infrastructure (public transportation, water/sewer, green space, fighting sprawl), urban renewal through redevelopment of underutilized urban sites, and providing rental housing that allows residents to live closer to their workplaces and amenities
- Tree replanting initiatives to manage any removals that become necessary
- Highly functional contiguous indoor and outdoor amenity spaces for community well being
- Cool Roof or Green Roof Systems
- Brownfield remediation reclaiming contaminated sites into clean and vibrant building sites
