The developers are aiming for LEED Platinum Certification, as well as compliance with Toronto Green Standard (TGS) requirements. In effect since 2010, the TGS sets tiered energy, emissions, and sustainability benchmarks for new buildings to support Toronto’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. 

Owens Corning introduces FOAMGLAS Perinsul SIB (Structural Insulating Block), coming Spring 2022.

Huntsman Building Solutions introduced D-Max Wall, a new assembly and continuous insulation solution which allows spray polyurethane foam insulation to be installed from the interior while managing thermal bridging of the studs and structure.

One of the ways the design, engineering and construction teams met the City of Vancouver’s new stringent energy requirements was by using structural thermal breaks to prevent thermal bridging at balconies, eyebrows, parapets and planter walls.
