Coolearth achieves LEED Silver for Commercial Interiors for Private Client
After extensive internal renovations our clients Toronto headquarters has achieved LEED Silver Certification for Commercial Interiors.
Located in a heritage building in Toronto, the cbuilding underwent a major overhaul of their existing 4 storey facility. As part of their corporate commitment to sustainability, it was determined from the outset of the project that LEED certification would be pursued.
Key highlights include improved Indoor Environmental Quality through the use of Low V.O.C. (Volatile Organic Compounds) Materials and furnishings; a commitment to locally sourced Materials (over 45% of materials were manufactured regionally!); and diverting construction waste from landfill (over 87% of construction waste was either re-purposed, reused or recycled).
The Owner, design team, and construction team all came together throughout the entire process to achieve this sustainability milestone. It was a pleasure working with everyone involved, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome.
To all the folks at Urbacon, Luc Wintzen Design, MCW Consultants Ltd, and our client, we thank you for your time and effort in a job well done!
