Energy Conservation
Energy Performance Designed to Save
The buildings at Dockside Green are designed to use 45-55% less energy
than the Canadian Model National Energy Code.
This save residents money while reducing harmful, green house gas (GHG)
emissions.
Energy Efficient Appliances
Our investment in Energy Star efficient appliances results in an average 47%
energy saving over the Canadian Model National Energy Code base energy rating
for appliances. Our high end, energy efficient, front-loading washers and
condensing dryers not only save energy but operated quietly and protect your
clothes from the damage of over-drying.
Energy Efficient Lighting
We are using compact fluorescent lighting, LED lighting in corridors, occupancy sensors and some solar lighting in landscape areas to reduce electrical costs from lighting. We have paid attention to design that allows for an abundance of daylight into your home.
Metering
We are providing meters in each suite to measure:
- Domestic hot and cold water use,
- Heating bills and
- Electricity usage
The meters provide real time information to residents on their energy usage allowing them to make personal adjustments to save money. Preprogram your temperature settings to be lower while you are away from home. Monitor and adjust your settings on the meter or on your computer while at home or remotely via a secure website.
