Healthy Spaces
Most home and offices are toxic environments. Numerous studies have shown dramatic increases in health, happiness and productivity for people living or working in green buildings.
Dockside Green buildings provide 100% fresh air through either a central or
individual heat recovery ventilator. We use low or no volatile organic
compounds (VOC's) paints, sealants and adhesives and we avoid the use of
ureaformaldehyde composite wood products in addition to low emitting carpets.

In the interest of maintaining a healthy environment, Dockside Green will favour non-toxic, biodegradable and naturally-sourced products wherever possible.
To improve indoor air quality and encourage optimal functioning of Dockside Green's water treatment system, we will encourage maintenance staff and community members to use green cleaning products exclusively, providing each residential, commercial and industrial unit with an initial, complimentary six-month supply.
The children's play area will be built with non-toxic and natural materials
to safeguard children from any potential long-term health risks. Similarly,
building materials will be non-toxic, biodegradable, reusable, recyclable and
durable - ensuring that they will not pollute the environment and can be safely
returned to the material input stream once their useful life at Dockside Green
has ended.
