As part of a province-wide program to encourage eco-friendly building techniques, Vaughan City Hall has opened its doors to the public. Archetype Sustainable House in Woodbridge also invited guests to visit and get an insight into the work it carries out.
Located at 2141 Major Mackenzie drive, the City Hall is one of the region’s largest public buildings to be built to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, and it serves for a model for others to do the same.
LEED is a point-based rating system where building design and function is judged on its benefit to the environment. There are 110 different points covering seven areas of building design and function.
Archetype Sustainable House, which is on the Living City Campus at 9550 Pine Valley Road, serves as a center for contractors and others in the building industry to learn new green’ construction techniques. It is also a place where members of the public can find out about the latest in eco-friendly and sustainable housing trends and how they can integrate them into their own lives.
Using a Print company to prepare Brochures with earth-friendly materials and techniques is one way this type of project can make a difference. It shows how small changes can have a big impact.
The open houses were part of a province-wide Green Energy Doors Open initiative. It is hoped that they will make a difference and lessen the effect that people have on the environment around them.
