This high-performance building will enhance the local offering for residential developments with a high comfort, low carbon design solution. The building is powered by a geo-exchange VRF heat pump heating and cooling system. Suite based ventilation via demand operated ERVs will ensure maximum IAQ and minimum energy consumption. A thermally effective enclosure system manages loads to maintain a low TEDI < 32 kWh/m2. The project achieved a 2-star Fitwel® certification for occupant wellness as well as Zero Carbon Building Design v3 certification.
