The MintoRoehampton sustainability performance
outcomes have been categorized according to the SBTool performance
assessment sections below:
A Site
Selection, Project Planning and Development
- Urban
redevelopment taking advantage of existing
infrastructure while protecting greenfields and preserving habitat.
- Alternative
Transportation: 500 meters from the subway line, covered
storage for 120 bicycles and walking distance
to shopping and amenities.
- Alternative
Fuel Vehicles: Autoshare program
with access to a hybrid car.
B Energy
and Resource Consumption
- High
efficiency heating and cooling systems consume
38% less energy than a typical multi-residential
unit.
- Energy
Management: Electronic
metering with convenient ‘all-off’ in-suite
lighting control.
- Motion
control lighting in the common areas ensure the
lights are off when not in use.
- Green
Power: clean green energy
equal to 100% of the building’s electricity
- Solar
Wall Cavity: a
glass-walled vestibule pre-conditions incoming
make-up air to the building
- Heat
Recovery Ventilation: Every
suite features a Minto-inspired HRV fan coil
technology that recovers exhaust heat to warm
up incoming fresh air and improve indoor air
quality.
- Compact
fluorescent lighting installed throughout the
suites reduces energy consumption
- Energy
Star appliances and front-loading in-suite
washing machines
B4 Materials
- Low
Emitting Materials: Cork underlay,
hardwood and ceramic flooring and low toxicity
paints significantly reducing volatile organic
compounds.
- Preference
given to use of regionally produced materials
- Collection
of Recyclables: Voluntary installation of an
on site waste sorting system making recycling
as convenient as garbage disposal while providing
a mechanism to manage for future organics collection.
B5 Potable Water
- Dual
Flush Toilets reduce water consumption by 32%
- Water
Metering: Each suite is individually
metered for hot and cold water use, putting
water management in the hands of the user. Minto’s test
programs have shown 10-50% water savings can
result from individual water metering.
C Environmental
Loadings
C3 Solid Wastes
- Construction
Waste Management: Contractors
self-managed their waste streams, recycling
wood, drywall, concrete, metals and cardboard
resulting in over 85% of waste being diverted
from landfill.
C4 Rainwater, Stormwater and
Wastewater
- Rainwater
Harvesting: Storage tank collects
rainwater for reuse, reducing total potable
water consumption.
C6 Other Local
and Regional Impacts
- Preference
given to use of regionally produced materials
- Heat
Island Effect: Reduce
thermal gradient differences between developed
and undeveloped areas by locating 100% of parking
underground
D Indoor
Environmental Quality
- CO2
monitoring in the parking garages interlocked
to air supply fans.
- Implementation
of a Construction IAQ Plan
- 100%
outside air to suites exceeding ASHRAE requirements
- System
Controllability: Each
suite features a fully user adjustable networked
temperature and airflow control.
- Daylight
and Views: Generous
use of low-e thermal glass with operable windows
maximizes natural illumination and ventilation
while taking advantage of the magnificent outward
views.
E Service
Quality
E3 Controllability
- Emergency
generator for partial (essential) function
during power outages.
- Building
Automation System (BAS) for suite building
automation with occupancy control
- System
Controllability: Each
suite features a fully user adjustable networked
temperature and airflow control.
- Automatic
daylight control is provided in the lobby and
amenity spaces
- Water
Metering: Each suite is individually
metered for hot and cold water use, putting
water management in the hands of the user. Minto’s test
programs have shown 10-50% water savings can
result from individual water metering.
- Energy
Management: convenient ‘all-off’ in-suite
lighting control.
- Tenant
feedback: Web-based
utility bill analysis ensures ongoing accountability
and optimization.
E5 Commissioning
of facility systems
- Full
project “Best Practice” commissioning
- Measurement
and Verification: Web-based
utility bill analysis ensures ongoing accountability
and optimization.
E6 Maintenance
of Operating Performance
- Maintenance
management plan initiated
- On-going
monitoring and verification of performance
- Web-based utility bill analysis ensures ongoing
accountability and optimization.
F Social and Economic aspects
- Universal
design provides access for physically handicapped
persons.
- All
suites have direct sunlight access from living
areas of dwelling units.
- Daylight
and Views: Generous
use of low-e thermal glass with operable windows
maximizes natural illumination and ventilation
while taking advantage of the magnificent outward
views.
- Access
to shared green space
