Tours+of+the+targeted+LEED+Platinum+ENV3+building+and+Grebel’s+Solar+Thermal+System


 * Workshop Description**

This workshop tours two areas on the University of Waterloo campus that are taking the initiative in environmentally sustainable building. The first is the University of Waterloo’s Targeted LEED® Platinum building, ENV3. LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability. This 57,000 ft2 building features a welcoming four-story atrium, constructed wetlands, sustainable and low-emitting materials throughout, rooftop gardens and a two-story living wall. The second is a tour of energy saving solar panels that were dreamed up by "Solar Grebel" and the process behind how a team of Grebel students took a barebones concept of "solar energy" and turned it into a full fledged eco-project.
