Sustainability

The co-op building at 151 West 1st Avenue was built to some of the highest standards of environmental sustainability. Here are just some of the features: Green roofs with storm water catchment used for gardens, waterscapes, the children’s water park and toilets in all units. Passive building design uses features like natural light, natural ventilation, insulation on the outside of the building and triple-pane windows to reduce energy use and improve comfort. Energy monitoring gives each suite technology that allows members to monitor their own energy and water usage. For more information on the sustainability features see SEFC & Olympic Village.
