Case Study Sustainable Development:
Reducing Carbon Impact
Overview
The Development Fund’s E 41st Avenue Project in Vancouver, British Columbia, a mid-rise multi-residential project currently in design, exemplifies sustainability and carbon reduction with a commitment to achieving near-zero carbon operations.
One of the key design features contributing to our near-zero carbon operations goal is the project’s efficient HVAC system, equipped with an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) that significantly reduces the heating and cooling load by up to 40%.
Moreover, the building boasts a best-in-class air tightness rating and LED lighting, ensuring the maintenance of a comfortable indoor environment while minimizing energy waste. Additionally, the building construction is wood frame which lowers the embodied carbon footprint.
