GREEN BUILDING PROGRAM
In an effort to create a healthy, vibrant Queen West community, with an emphasis on environmental concerns and healthy lifestyle, the builders of Artscape Triangle Lofts have registered with the
Canada Green Building Council (CGBC). Through its LEED Canada (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system, the CGBC recognizes leading edge projects that incorporate design, construction and operational practices that combine healthy, high-quality and high performance advantages with reduced environmental impacts in order to promote the development of high-performance, sustainable buildings. This means that in addition to being constructed in a way that minimizes environmental impact, your new home will be a highly efficient, healthy living environment when complete.
