Paradigm Green

HEATING AND COOLING SUSTAINABILITY

The heating & cooling and domestic hot water systems are equipped with high efficiency condensing boilers with thermal efficiency of 95%.

Paradigm’s Four-Pipe Fan Coil system with individual heating and cooling control allows the building to maintain temperatures efficiently.

Paradigm’s use of Variable Frequency Drives on cooling equipment reduces building energy costs, and subsequently residents’ monthly costs.

INNOVATION IN DESIGN

All the suites at Paradigm feature low-water consuming fixtures, numerous lighting and thermal comfort control options that allow Paradigm residents to stimulate their comfort, well-being, and productivity.

RECYCLING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

Paradigm also provides residents with the infrastructure to easily recycle glass, plastic, metal, paper and cardboard.

GREEN LIFESTYLE

Paradigm helps to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions from private vehicles by encouraging the use of public transit and bicycles. Located steps from the GO Station and featuring covered storage facilities in the underground parkade for bikes, it’s easy to be green at Paradigm.

WATER EFFICIENCY

Low-flow indoor water fixtures and water efficient landscape design have cut the Paradigm’s water consumption by 44%

GREEN LIFESTYLE

The majority of parking spaces are placed under cover to avoid hardscape surfaces that negatively impact the natural environment and contribute to the heat island effect.

INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

Paradigm’s highly-reflective “white” roof reduces cooling requirements during the summer months, and lessens the heat island effect typically enhanced by metropolitan high rises.

PARADIGM PHASE ONE LEED SILVER CERTIFICATION

Paradigm’s LEED® Silver certification comes as a result of an exhaustive effort by the Molinaro Group and its consultants, construction trades and vendors to raise the bar for condominium design and construction.

From its very inception, sustainability was designed into Paradigm. The three-building first phase of this master-planned Burlington, Ontario condominium includes many high-efficiency features that have been designed to simultaneously reduce the environmental footprint of the development and minimizing ongoing costs for its residents.

From its state-of-the-art “white” roof to energy-saving peripherals, from locally sourced building materials to overall design innovations, sustainability is integral to Paradigm’s construction.

WATER EFFICIENCY

Paradigm’s exquisitely landscaped terraces will require substantially less municipally supplied potable water. Incorporating native and drought tolerant plant species and high-efficiency irrigation equipment, the outdoor spaces at Paradigm are “green” in more ways than one.

ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE

All suites and common areas will feature energy-efficient lighting and have been equipped with energy recovery ventilators (ERV) with overall energy recovery effectiveness of 80%.
