Hive is loaded with sustainable choices, from our rooftop solar panels to our ground floor pollinator garden.\u00a0 These choices reduce utility costs for residents, create a pleasing living space and are hands down the right thing to do for our planet.<\/p>\n

One of the best parts about choosing to live at Hive is knowing that your home beats Canada\u2019s \u00a0National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) requirements by an incredible 20%. \u00a0Thanks to the effort of our skilled team of architects, planners, engineers and landscape designers, Hive is setting a modern standard for green building.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][vc_custom_heading text_color=”color-698161″ heading_semantic=”h5″ text_size=”h5″ uncode_shortcode_id=”138111″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]How did we do it?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”203556″]Increased roof insulation from 4\u201d to 6\u201d<\/p>\n

Vinyl windows reduce thermal bridging (unwanted flow of heat)<\/p>\n

Robust building envelope includes exterior insulation with rainscreen and fiber cement panels<\/p>\n

LED lighting<\/p>\n

Low flow plumbing fixtures and leak detectors that reduce the risk of water loss or water damage<\/p>\n

140 rooftop solar panels that replace energy used from coal-fired plants<\/p>\n

2 Electric Vehicle parking stations<\/p>\n

High efficiency mechanical system including:<\/p>\n

Condensing boilers, MUA (make-up air) and water heaters, which provide efficient heating to reduce overall GHG emissions, carbon footprint<\/p>\n

Make-up air heating improvement from 80% to 92% efficiency \u2013 reducing overall GHG emissions and our carbon footprint<\/p>\n

Equipping suites with ERVs (energy recovery ventilators) that bring fresh air to the suite while minimizing the energy to heat and cool the air[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row
