SUSTAINABILITY

Forward-looking Design

RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES

Sustainable practices are built into all aspects of operations; reducing waste and natural resource usage while incorporating renewable energy sources is a priority. We incorporate green roofing materials and Low-E glass to minimize solar heat gain, change linens every third day unless otherwise requested by our guests and use refillable Aesop containers in rooms. Muir works with regional partners and suppliers to provide local products and ingredients, reducing our carbon footprint while providing a high quality and authentic Nova Scotian experience.

SEA WATER LOOP

Queen’s Marque and Muir were designed with the future in mind. A sea water loop and single plan heat pump reduce Muir’s carbon footprint and creates one of the most energy-efficient buildings in the region. Water is drawn from the harbour, harnessing the renewable energy of the sea for heating and cooling.
