- 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.
