Enermodal's new office building is a showcase for the ultimate in environmental sustainability and energy efficiency. It is expected to be the only building in Waterloo Region that qualifies for a triple platinum rating, the highest possible rating under the Canada Green Building Council's LEED program. Energy efficient features include:
-use of reclaimed and renewable materials
-triple-glazed windows
-walls made with insulated concrete forms
-energy-efficient lighting
-bamboo cabinets and trim
-sod-free landscaping
A narrow building footprint (12m across) maximizes natural daylight and minimizes electricity use. Heating and cooling is provided by individual room heat pumps that are connected by a loop. Toilets and urinals use rain water. Storm water from the site passes through a vegetated swale and treatment system to remove pollutants before it enters the sewer system.
