GREEN HIGHLIGHTS

Energy Reduction

• Glazing is limited to 40% of the exterior surface area of the building. Glazing is reduced on the north side that is subject to greater heat loss and increased on the south side for maximum daylighting.
• Balconies have been sized to a minimum (2% of vertical surface area of each floor) to reduce thermal bridging and consequent heat loss through the floor slabs at these locations.
• Average wall insulation is increased to reduce heat loss.
• The building envelope will be air tight and impermeable to moisture.

Urban Impacts

• All amenities and shopping are within walking distance reducing the number of car trips and promoting walking.
• The project is adjacent to a transit stop.
• The project intensifies the use of existing city infrastructure which is an efficient use of resources.
• The number of people living in the downtown core area is increased, which helps to relieve development pressure on surrounding natural and agricultural areas.

Transportation

• The site is located on bus routes and is walking distance to downtown. The Harris Green neighborhood itself provides goods and services at the development’s doorstep.
• Secure indoor parking is provided for 88 bicycles in several generously sized bicycle rooms. A 6-stall bicycle rack is located at the entrance to the residential lobby.
• A high-speed electric car charging station has been provided in a dedicated parking stall at a convenient location in the secure underground parking.

Recycling

• Demolition of existing building will be controlled to maximize re-use and recycling of construction products.
• The new building provides a comprehensive recycling facility in the underground.

Natural Ventilation

• Each suite will be equipped with 100% fan assisted fresh air ventilation. The fresh air promotes healthy indoor air quality and reduces the potential for moisture build-up and condensation especially in the winter months when windows tend to be kept shut.

Rain Gardens

• The building features a roof top rain garden on the second floor. Rain gardens are lushly planted landscape features that receive stormwater runoff from the roof and patios of the building. When it rains, water pools on the surface, creating a rainwater feature. The rain garden cleans the stormwater as it infiltrates through the soil. The stormwater system requires no energy to operate it – it works by gravity.
