THE LIVGREEN DIFFERENCE

• Graphite infused insulated concrete forms – key element in our energy saving construction system
• Sustainable building materials
• Geothermal – ground source heating and cooling
• Solar parking lot lights
• Solar panels on the roof – photo voltaic collection system feeds energy back into the grid and also shading the roof reducing solar heat gain
• Electric car charging stations
• Bicycle parking areas
• Energy monitors for every unit – makes the owners aware of their consumption
• Tri-sorter waste – all buildings are equipped with a tri-sorter to separate the waste for recycling purposes
• Construction waste diversion – all construction waste is collected en masse and then sorted for recycling
• Lighting – LED are the only lights used with split level lighting systems in the common areas
• On demand tankless hot water heaters – eliminates standby energy required to keep water hot
• Triple glazed windows – reducing energy requirements for heating and cooling and increases sound transmission rating making for a quieter indoor space
• Careful selection of planting of native shrubs, flowers and grasses with mulch reducing the requirement for watering
• Low flow toilets and showers
• Balcony isolation – providing a thermal break between balconies and indoor floors reducing energy transfer
• R80 roofs – 3x the standard, this virtually eliminates thermal transfer through the significantly sized roof areas
• Energy efficient appliances
• Thermography – using infrared imaging to monitor the buildings energy performance
• Post construction energy monitoring – vital in obtaining this data to improve on future building performance
• Rain water recycling program.
