Case Studies

A Grander View Located at 582 Lancaster St. W, A Grander View is the new headquarters of Enermodal Engineering, Canada’s largest green building consultant. Predicted to be the most energy efficient office in Canada using 82% less energy than a conventional office, A Grander View is the first ever LEED-NC (New Construction), EBOM (Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance), and CI (Commercial Interiors) Platinum candidate. Cambridge City Hall Officially opened in June 2008, Cambridge City Hall is the first city hall in Canada with Gold LEED® Certification. Featuring a 110 m2 “living wall” of tropical plants, exceptional water conservation performance, a green roof and amenities that encourage both pedestrian traffic and alternative forms of travel, this building is expected to achieve annual energy cost savings of about 42%. The city hall recently won the Excellence Award in the Government category from Environmental Design and Construction Magazine.
