(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/15/11 -- Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited is proud to announce that the TD Waterhouse Tower (79 Wellington Street West) at the Toronto-Dominion Centre has attained LEED® Gold Certification under the Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance category, presented by the Canada Green Building Council.
This award marks a special accomplishment for TD Centre as we have been working diligently to exceed several environmental and operational benchmarks that we know will benefit our valued clients.
Cadillac Fairview has long been committed to environmental stewardship at Toronto-Dominion Centre, and it's great to see the hard work of our team recognized in this way. Achieving LEED® Gold is a testament to architect Mies van der Rohe's timeless design of the TD Centre and our commitment to preserving this while offering uncompromising service, comfort and energy efficiency to the 21,000 people that call TD Centre home every day.
The LEED® Gold certification helps to set TD Centre apart from its competitors and prove that greening of an existing building of this quality is both the smart thing and the right thing to do.
In order to achieve LEED® Gold EB: O&M Certification, TD Centre had to meet strict, measurable benchmarks and earn credits in five categories - Sustainable sites, Water efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality.
This prestigious certification was achieved through a long history of enhancements to the property with operating efficiency in mind, and through Cadillac Fairview's national GREEN AT WORK™ program. GREEN AT WORK™ is a detailed, measurable and long-term proprietary program implemented at all company properties that sets operational benchmarks to reduce energy consumption and waste, improves environmental protection, encourages sustainable procurement and ongoing communication with key stakeholders.
The following initiatives helped TD Centre to meet the standards of the five LEED® categories:
Cadillac Fairview has already achieved LEED® Gold EB certification through the U.S. Green Building Council at its Simcoe Place office tower, and LEED® Gold NC for its innovative new RBC Centre building located in downtown Toronto that has been described as Toronto's greenest office tower.
