LEED Silver Standard
The Kitchener Operations Facility is built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver standard, which will result in reduced energy use and significant cost savings.
LEED is the most recognized and accepted North American standard for rating the environmental friendliness of the design, construction, operation and sustainability of buildings.
Among the LEED components are included in the facility are:
- Building-system controls
- Expanded drainage
- Geothermal heat recovery system
- Improved lighting
- Low-flow fixtures
The costs associated with LEED has been covered by a portion of $14 million in federal-provincial-municipal infrastructure stimulus funding the Kitchener Operations Facility project has been awarded. All stimulus funds had to go toward new additions to the scope of the project, over and above what was approved in the original base construction budget.
