Doing your Part

Green buildings contribute benefits at global, regional and local scales:

• Globally
  • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
• Regionally
  • Reduce demand on provincial energy infrastructure
  • Use of regionally produced materials when possible
  • Reduced waste sent to landfills
• Locally
  • Air Quality
  • Reducing strain on infrastructure

Adjacent to the TTC and other public modes of transportation Tridel Green Condo - Element under construction in Downtown Toronto:

Energy performance modeling on Tridel's downtown Element community projects major improvements compared to conventional condominium construction:

• greenhouse gas savings averaging roughly one tonne of CO₂ equivalent per suite(Learn more about Canada's One Tonne Challenge)
• 500 kilowatt hours of electricity saved in the summer from using deep lake water cooling, removing a significant load from peak energy demands in Ontario
• high performance, high efficiency boilers that meet the stringent certification requirements of California's South Coast Air Quality Management District.

Whatever your reason is for wanting to buy a home in a green building, the decision benefits us all.
