Two Tridel condo buildings get the green stamp of approval Verve and Nuvo 2 at Essex earn LEED Gold and Silver

Company recognized by Ontario Home Builders’ Association and J.D. Power and Associates

TORONTO, ON - November 16, 2009 - Tridel’s Verve in downtown Toronto and Nuvo 2 at Essex in Etobicoke have been recognized with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) GOLD and SILVER certification respectively from the Canadian Green Building Council. Verve and Nuvo 2 at Essex represent Tridel’s first communities to receive this internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED building certification recognizes that buildings have achieved sustainability in all key environmental areas: site development, water efficiency, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

“These important achievements come from a commitment our President Leo DelZotto made in 2005 to adopt LEED as the minimum standard for all our new buildings,” said Rambod Nasrin, Sustainability Manager for Tridel. “Tridel now represents about 10 per cent of all LEED commercial projects in Canada, with over seven million square feet of LEED-registered projects. This is a serious commitment toward greening the high-rise development industry.”

Verve is in the heart of Toronto at the intersection of Sherbourne Street and Wellesley Street East. The 444 homes in the 39-storey tower and six-storey loft feature:

Energy Star appliances, high efficiency lighting and Autoshare membership for all residents
A cost effective central heat-recovery ventilator system for continuous ventilation and better indoor air quality
Building materials that have high recycled content that were manufactured regionally
Paints and adhesives for interior finishings that are low volatile organic for all suites and common areas.

“I am very proud to live in a LEED Gold certified building,” said John Randall, Verve resident and Board President. “I’ve been reducing my environmental foot print ever since I moved in a year ago. Each unit is individually metered, so right away I noticed the cost savings in my monthly bills for hydro and water.”

Nuvo 2 is Tridel’s newest condominium at The Essex community, located next to Kipling subway station. The 29-storey residence is home to more than 500 residents who enjoy reduced costs as a result of the green building design. Nuvo 2 features:

34 per cent more energy efficiency than a building designed to code
Increased bike storage
Convenient access to the subway
A community that promotes car independence

“My condo came with energy saving appliances and a smart meter, and I feel I’m really doing my part for the environment,” said Midge Castiglione, Nuvo 2 resident and Board President. “The other residents and I were also delighted to receive a six month supply of green cleaning products from Tridel to reduce the impact that cleaning chemicals have on the environment.”

Tridel buildings are designed to reduce their environmental impact through energy savings, reduced emissions and water conservation with:

Low-flow high pressure faucets, dual flush toilets and rain water capture that can save each community approximately 15 million litres of water annually. (This equates to 15 million litres less water at downstream treatment facilities and upstream delivery for the city’s water infrastructure.)
An average of 30 to 40 per cent savings in energy consumption for each green building compared to code. This translates to cost savings to homeowners, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions in each community by over 500 tonnes annually, which is equivalent to planting 2,500 trees each year.

“We build homes today that will be peoples’ homes for generations to come,” explains Danielle Feidler, Vice President of Customer Care for Tridel. “We want them to make the most of it. That’s why our consumer and employee educational program called How You Live is as Important as Where You Live offers tours, workshops and educational guides to residents to highlight all the features in our buildings and communities.”

“The LEED process certifies a building after construction is completed, which can occur three to four years after initial design. Achieving these certifications requires a collaborative effort from the entire team during design, construction and occupancy,” said Peter Meneguzzi, Director of Project Management for Tridel. “It’s rewarding to see how everything came together to achieve this milestone in Tridel’s green history.”
