1000 Wellington (The Eddy)
Project Type: Geothermal Heating and Cooling & Rain Water Collection and Recycling
Client: Windmill Developments / Pomerleau
About This Project
Ottawa-based Windmill Developments, Canada’s greenest condominium developer, commenced work July 2013 on The Eddy, a modern, six-storey sustainable infill condominium in the heart of Hintonburg. With its innovative approach to sustainability, The Eddy is one of the few LEED Platinum condominiums in Canada.
Goals
The project’s goal was to achieve LEED Platinum status for the condominium building and make it a model for green innovation with elements like:
GEOTHERMAL HEATING & COOLING: A ground-source geothermal HVAC system that comprises fourteen 510-foot (155-metre) boreholes with tubing loops captures the ground’s consistent temperature and transfers it to the building. Energy recovery units were also installed throughout the building to help with heating, cooling, ventilation, and dehumidification.
RAINWATER COLLECTION & RECYCLING: Rainwater is harvested from around the site and stored in a 60,000-gallon (272,800-litre) underground tank which is then used for interior irrigation and toilet flushing. Ultra-low flow plumbing fixtures ensure that the collected water is used sparingly.
Results
Windmill Developments won the 2015 Community Energy Builder Award in the “Real Estate Sector” for The Eddy. It offers six storeys of green, urban condominiums that set new standards for architecture, design, and smart, healthy living in Ottawa. By incorporating a geo-exchange heating and cooling system, The Eddy exceeds energy efficiency standards by 50%.
