Limberlost Place: Vegetated roof crowns first-of-its-kind mass timber building Limberlost Place, a new addition to George Brown College's Waterfront Campus in Toronto, is a ten-storey, low-carbon building that will feature ecological innovation across its entire life cycle. As part of the ecological intent of the design, a vegetated roof completes the building envelope. The flat portions of the roof consist of a 150 mm (6 in.) deep biodiverse vegetated roof by LiveRoof® Ontario. The 19 different plant species, chosen in collaboration with the landscape architect, were provided in 11 different plant mixes. The plant mixes accommodate the various conditions of sun and shade experienced on the flat roof on the north side of the building, and the sunnier exposure of the smaller flat roof on the south side. The two roofs together make up 697 sq. m (7,500 sq. ft.). Read more ... | | | | |

Presented by: - Karl Truderung, P. Eng. M.Sc., FCPCI, Associate – PM/Precast/Structural, Tower Engineering
- Val Sylaj, P.Eng., Ph.D., CPCI President
Canada's housing needs require bold, innovative solutions. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) estimates that up to 4.8 million additional homes will need to be built over the next 10 years to restore housing affordability to 2019 levels, based on projected demand. Delivering housing more quickly and sustainably, and restoring affordability, are essential priorities.
The webinar will showcase the main benefits of precast concrete technology, such as faster project completion, lower construction risk, enhanced building performance, sustainable building practices, design flexibility, and better cost predictability. Using real-world case studies, this session will illustrate how precast concrete construction allows for architectural versatility while providing practical, scalable solutions for mid- to high-rise residential projects.
Join us to explore how precast concrete solutions are reshaping Canada's residential construction landscape and playing a critical role in addressing the need for affordable housing.

Calabogie Cottage: Multi-generational home a learning opportunity for community
The home near Ottawa serves as a demonstration project both for the architects and for the community. The architectural design process explored ideas about traditional passive solar strategies, passive house principles, simplified building forms, and low carbon construction. The vegetated roof by LiveRoof helps to manage storm water while enhancing summer cooling effects. The project uses an ULTRA electric boiler with the T2 UltraSmartTM controller by Thermo 2000 Inc. which supplies hydronic heating systems for residential, commercial and institutional applications. Leviton lighting dimmers in the project improve occupant comfort and support energy code compliance. SANCTUARY® cellulose insulation by Greenfiber® fills voids and joints in the building envelope to create a dense barrier capable of reducing air infiltration and mitigating sound. Read more ... | | |

Cité Angus Phase II: High density living follows passive strategies By Maude Pintal, Director Sustainable Design Aedifica.
Cité Angus Phase II is located on the last vacant lot of Montreal's Technopôle Angus site, part of an integrated approach to sustainable development, revitalization, and access to home ownership for families wishing to settle in the heart of the city. The building comprises two wings that define an inner courtyard containing a monumental, copper-coloured spiral staircase. A departure from the double loaded corridor approach, the primarily dual aspect design of Cité Angus Phase II is fundamental to its passive design strategy, optimizing natural light and ventilation. On one side, accessibility to natural light has been enhanced and, on the other, the generous covered passageways help mitigate heat gains. A high-performance building envelope and heat pumps with energy recovery reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The building is connected to a district energy loop that serves seven other buildings. Much of the interior is finished with Newton 1867 Engineered Hardwood flooring by Bousada. Read more … | | |
