Benefits of the Sustainable Condo

The Sustainable Condo allows you to use less, and enjoy more.

Condo work area

With a sustainable condo you will enjoy:
• Natural ventilation, for a healthier home and improved indoor air quality
• Natural lighting and improved light quality
• High quality, environmentally-friendly products and appliances
• More durable products, appliances that are cheaper to run
• Greater thermal comfort
• More money after paying the bills!

Our communities will benefit too:
Imagine if the next 10,000 condos built in Greater Vancouver were sustainable condos rather than conventional condos...
• We would save enough energy to heat and power an additional 2,500 condos a year.
• We would save enough water to fill half an Olympic size swimming pool every day.
• We would avoid the generation of nearly half a million tonnes of waste - that’s nearly 23,000 full garbage trucks per year or one-quarter of the volume of BC Place Stadium.
• We could continue to preserve our agricultural land reserve and natural heritage, and create liveable sustainable communities.
