Green
- Gorsebook Park is being developed on an urban site, close to public transit, using existing municipal infrastructure – “smart” urban development is probably the single most important step we can take in ensuring that we build sustainable communities for the future
- All suites will have dual flush toilets and water efficient faucets and showerheads; sustainable hardwood flooring; and zero VOC-emitting paints and low-emitting paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants and flooring
- Overall energy usage will be reduced by using energy efficient windows and lighting, Energy Star appliances, and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) that recover heat typically exhausted from suites
- An advanced recycling system will be installed in the building, allowing residents to separate recyclable materials at source
