BUILDING SCIENCES

Façade

The modern stone and brick exterior is an in- vestment in durability and longevity. Precast materials offer a higher standard for performance from an energy and insulation perspective. 78% of total heat loss in a façade comes from thermal bridging; precast walls reduce thermal bridging over conventional glass towers. This creates a more comfortable living experience by reducing heat loss and cold spots in your home, while also improving building performance, energy consumption, and utility costs.

Juliets

Larger than a typical window opening, inviting natural sunlight and airflow, a Juliet increases the long-term integrity of a building (whereas typical condominium balconies reduce energy performance by acting as a thermal bridge). Traditional balconies also reduce the amount of light into the home significantly.

In-Suite

  • Pot lights in all suites as standard
  • Premium LVT flooring as standard
  • Miele integrated appliances as standard
  • 9’ Ceiling Height (10’ Ceiling Height on some floors) as standard
  • Heat Pump (ERV) and Air Ventilation
  • Enhanced Acoustics
  • Leak Detection

Elevators

Service through four high-speed elevators creates a 20% faster response and ride than typical condominiums. This results in reduced wait times and time-in-elevator-to-destination times.

ERV units in all suites help to bring fresh air directly from the outside into your home. This results in suite privacy and autonomy of airflow. Pressure sealed doors reduce air transfer into suites from the corridor and neighbouring units. This also enables each residence to receive fresh air from the personal ventilation systems located within each suite for individual control.

Demising walls with acoustic ratings that exceed building code standards increase performance in acoustical separation by 18%, reducing noise transmission between units. Pressure sealed doors limit noise transfer from the corridors. In floors, impact noise protection is enhanced with additional foam underlayment, included below the LVT, reducing noise transmission floor-to- floor. The precast façade also ensures enhanced sound insulation over typical glass towers.

Leak detection & water damage prevention

Water leak detection systems monitor flow building-wide and in-suite for proactive damage prevention. Property Management is alerted to take action the moment a leak is detected, rather than after damage is done. Additional water damage prevention measures include the installation of drains in all laundry closets to eliminate the potential for suite damage from water scaling or floor-to-floor. Eddy Solutions systems use sensors in pipe chases that detect water and also track the flow and use of water to proactively issue notifications.

Geothermal heating & cooling

Geothermal technologies serve heating and cooling applications, and geothermal energy is a renewable resource. This results in cost stability, energy efficiencies, and environmental sustainability. Geothermal benefits also include reduced carbon emissions, limiting the building’s exposure to the carbon tax, providing access to year-round, low-carbon heating and cooling.
