26 WELLINGTON STREET EAST Built in 1981, 26 Wellington Street East is a 12-storey Class A Office Building that continues to outperform its newer neighbours in Toronto’s evergrowing Financial District. This near 40-year-old tower has undergone numerous upgrades to dramatically cut energy consumption and utility costs by over 60% since 2013.
Over half of the Wellington Street East’s total energy requirement is met with Green-ecertified renewable energy credits to reduce environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel energy use.
Upgrades include LED lighting throughout the office space, lobby, and parking garage, VFD control upgrades to ventilation equipment and pumps, and adaptive frequency drives installed on chiller compressors to improve efficiency. A submetering system was installed to enable automatic data collection and monitoring of lighting, receptacle, and HVAC loads, and is used in conjunction with BAS analytics to drive continuous improvement as part of an Ongoing Commissioning (OCx) plan.
In addition to achieving LEED Platinum certification, 26 Wellington Street East was awarded ENERGY STAR Certification in 2019 with a score of 97, proving once again it is top class in energy performance, and showcasing H&R REIT’s dedication to sustainability and excellence in building operations.
600 COCHRANE DRIVE, MARKHAM Canadian Urban Limited is proud to announce that 600 Cochrane Drive in Markham, Ontario, has been certified LEED Platinum – the only office building in Markham to achieve this designation. 600 Cochrane Drive is a five-storey, 100,161 square foot Class A office building situated in a well established and highly accessible office park in the Greater Toronto Area. Constructed in 2001, the building features an appealing glass curtain wall, a highly functional and desirable floor plate, and generous parking on its 4.24-acre site.

Canadian Urban Limited is proudly committed to sustainable environmental practices. The journey to secure LEED Platinum certification was made possible by our valued tenants at 600 Cochrane Drive. WSP provided key consulting services and advice throughout the process. Lutron advised on initiatives regarding the upgrading to more sustainable low energy light fixtures. All of the fluorescent light fixtures in and outside 600 Cochrane Drive were replaced with new high-efficiency LED fixtures. Occupancy sensors were installed throughout the lobby, common areas and select offices in the building. Other ongoing improvements include a landscaping plan involving vegetation requiring a lower water supply. 600 Cochrane achieved a high score on a tenant survey regarding Human Experience in the building for air quality, cleanliness, HVAC, thermal comfort and lighting levels.

Our vision is to drive leadership in sustainable real estate across our global organization. Our employees, in collaboration with our tenants and local communities, work to provide healthy and efficient properties – today and into the future. ManulifeIM.com/realestate

MANULIFE GLOBAL HEAD OFFICE Our commitment to sustainability begins at home with our Global Headquarters located in Toronto. Already BOMA Best certified, our headquarters achieved LEED Gold and certified our North Tower Fitwel in 2019. Following the success of our LEED program, we developed an internal Fitwel certification guide for our property teams. Currently, over 80% of our portfolio, or 48 million square feet, is certified to a green building standard. We continue to target properties for LEED and other sustainable building certifications.
1600 CARLING In January 2019, 1600 Carling Avenue made history as the first building in Canada to become certified under the LEED version 4.1 for building Operations and Maintenance. With v4.1, LEED has streamlined the certification process by focusing on five data-driven performance outcomes: transportation, water, energy, waste and human experience. Drawing on lessons learned from 1600 Carling, we successfully certified an additional 15 buildings. Our dedication to providing sustainable spaces for our tenants led to the development of our internal sustainable building standards program in 2017. The program provides visibility into our buildings’ performance and allows property teams to collaborate with our tenants on creating sustainable spaces.

CANON CANADA HEADQUARTERS, BRAMPTON Canon Canada’s 176,000 square foot, LEED Gold certified headquarters building is designed to communicate Canon’s brand values of clarity, precision, and technological elegance. This five-storey building is comprised of a silver-white curtainwall with vertical fins of fritted glass that float effortlessly above a recessed base of black granite. Canon Canada’s office demonstrates a creative approach to sustainability and design while promoting a healthy lifestyle for its employees. In 2019, Canon Canada was named one of Canada’s Greenest Employers. The building site, surrounded by landscaping, was key to ensuring Canon’s vision for a "building within a park," allowing generous views and connections to nature. Expansive outdoor terraces are linked to a serene walking trail that meanders around a stormwater management pond buffered by a naturalized meadow of native plantings, serving both Canon Canada and the residential community.
A highly sophisticated and energy efficient building automation system controls the indoor climate, under-floor air distribution, lighting systems, window blinds, A/V and security systems and provides optimized comfort for all staff. With this project, Canon Canada leads by example, going beyond the status quo in an area ripe for development. The building invigorates the local economy and encourages the development of a balanced and sustainable city where people can live, work and play in harmony.
The building includes a system that collects, filters and stores rainwater in a cistern underground. Once rainwater is filtered and available for use, domestic city water use is automatically shut off and the building begins to use the rainwater for flushing and irrigation. The system saves at least 20% of our domestic city water usage per year – the equivalent of 4.5 million water bottles (500 mL). The building’s biophilic interiors balance privacy and collegiality in an open and serene environment with offices oriented around a bright and airy central atrium, where daylight gently washes over travertine floors, western red cedar-slatted ceilings and tranquil rock gardens. Ergonomic furniture, interior plantings, individually-controlled lighting and low-VOC materials further enhance staff well-being. The carefully detailed vertical glass fins integrated into the exterior glazing provide solar shading and reduces indoor solar head gain and glare.

AGRICULTURE PLACE, REGINA Agriculture Place is an 11-storey office tower in downtown Regina. This LEED Gold project captures a building design that’s responsive to the pedestrian condition at grade, through open interior spaces and public support functions; public seating with planters and bicycle storage; three levels of underground parking to maximize density; integrated art in the atria; and retail opportunities for tenants. The façade has an integrated deluge sprinkler system that allows larger windows to take advantage of natural light and views (over 90% of the occupied spaces have exterior sight lines), while allowing the tower to be located closer to neighbouring buildings, densifying the site consistent with the downtown plan. The building is linked to the original tower via a Level 2 podium, as well as through the underground parkade. With a Walk Score of 92, the building is very close to multiple public transportation options; has carpooling stalls onsite; secure bicycle storage; and showers and locker facilities. Water-conserving plumbing fixtures and multiple recycling options contribute to conservation efforts, and all materials were selected to meet LEED criteria for low emittance. Over 50% of wood materials were harvested from sustainable forests designated by the Forest Stewardship Council; an additional 22% are considered regional; and nearly 80% of construction waste was diverted from traditional waste streams to end-use recyclers.
BLOOR ISLINGTON PLACE, TORONTO Located at 3250, 3280 and 3300 Bloor Street West in Toronto, Bloor Islington Place is a 884,000 square foot on-transit office complex with three office towers interconnected by a full-service retail podium. Built between 1981-1991, this multi-purpose commercial complex offers a variety of tenant amenities including a gym, daycare, sit-down and take-away food options, health care providers, a national grocer and a green roof complemented by extensive underground parking. All the while located on the TTC, Mi-way, and close to the 400 series highways.

Starlight Investments is dedicated to pursuing environmental performance and sustainability of its portfolio. In early 2020, Starlight completed LEED EB:O&M Gold recertification at Bloor Islington Place. There were many specific initiatives which resulted in improvements to its energy and resource efficiency as well as wellness of the tenants. Starlight updated operational processes, implemented green initiatives and deployed an extensive capital expenditure program to upgrade various HVAC equipment and water, electrical and mechanical systems. These green initiatives implemented included construction of a green roof, upgrades to water-efficient plumbing fixtures, installation of 32 EV charging stations, LED retrofits, installation of high-efficiency chillers, and optimization of chilled water and heating plants, air handling units, compartmental units, exhaust systems and terminal zones.

THE PETER GILGAN CENTRE FOR RESEARCH AND LEARNING The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto The Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning (PGCRL) incorporates open areas, gathering spots, collaborative workspaces and state-of-the-art amenities, including a 250-seat auditorium where some of the world’s best scientists and trainees congregate and share ideas to transform the current state of child health. The 21-storey PGCRL contains 250 labs and six neighbourhoods connected through internal staircases and interactive lounges to encourage cross-collaboration. The commitment to ecological health and social responsibility led to PGCRL achieving three LEED Gold certifications: New Construction in 2015, Commercial Interiors in 2017, and Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance in 2019.
Some of the key design and operational parameters that distinguish PGCRL include: • A heat island reduction roofing system • Building automation system to reduce energy loads based on building occupancy • Automated lighting systems that reduce exterior lighting pollution • Reduction of potable water use by over 30 per cent, and grey water recovery for flushing • In the labs, a glass and plastic recycling program, and the ‘Shut the Sash’ program to reduce fresh air use • Building amenities that promote sustainable transportation

THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF YORK Office at 145 Harry Walker Pkwy., Newmarket, ON The Regional Municipality of York has a long-standing commitment to designing and constructing sustainable buildings. Since 2016, 17 York Region buildings have been certified under the LEED green building rating system. The Regional office at 145 Harry Walker Parkway in Newmarket, Ontario was most recently awarded LEED Silver certification in May 2019 under LEED Canada for New Construction and Major Renovations 2009.
(Photos: ŠAECOM. Mike Niedringhaus)
The renovations at 145 Harry Walker Parkway were completed in 2016; they comprised the partial conversion of a 27-year-old, 14,800 m2 warehouse into a 5,100 m2 administrative office building for more than 300 occupants while retaining the remaining warehouse for storage. The project began with an integrated LEED design charette involving the design team and representatives from York Region’s Property Services branch. Partially converting a large warehouse with solid metal cladding into an administrative office to accommodate over 300 workstations, multiple private offices, and training and conference rooms presented a few challenges. One of the challenges the project had to overcome was to find a way to incorporate adequate daylight to ensure occupant comfort and energy savings. To achieve this, new fenestrations on the building envelope were introduced; including three skylights and two sizable thermally broken curtain walls to bring natural light into the office space. The curtain wall system features a combination of highperformance, low-emitting insulating clear and translucent glass units which transform the sunlight into glare-free daylight. The lighting within the office space was further enhanced through the installation of LED light fixtures with indirect/direct light distribution, occupancy sensors and daylight controls.
The LEED design charette also considered the improvement of energy performance and water saving strategies such as; replacing the roof with high R-value insulation and high albedo roof, optimizing HVAC and lighting efficiencies, enhanced commissioning through implementing measurement and verification system, selection of salt- and drought-tolerant landscape design requiring no irrigation, and installing low-flow plumbing fixtures. Other notable sustainable strategies included selection of low-emitting building materials with regional and recycled content, a new stormwater bioswale, construction waste diversion management and construction indoor air quality management. In addition, the provision of showers, bike racks, electric vehicle charging stations and carpool spaces promotes sustainable transportation. The 145 Harry Walker building demonstrates how aging industrial space can be transformed into modern, welcoming and sustainable office space.
