At 1190 Hornby Street, the practical measures that we have taken focus on energy efficiency and contribute to environmental sustainability. These initiatives include:
- high efficiency mechanical equipment including chiller, heat exchanger and cooling tower
- high efficiency boilers for the heating and domestic hot water system
- new automated control system to effectively manage the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as lighting
- low flow flush valves for toilets and urinals and low flow aerators for washroom sinks
- occupancy sensors for washroom lighting
- window film to reduce solar heat gain
- indoor air quality testing
- recycling programs for paper, glass, metal, plastics, fluorescent lights, & batteries

In addition to the numerous social and environmental benefits to “Go Green,” our efforts will result in reduced energy costs for our tenants.
