Eighth Avenue has continued to promote the reduction of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by building one of Canada's largest Passive House in an effort to promote the sustainability in the city and region as a whole. Passive House projects are able to reduce their impact on the environment by greatly reducing heating energy (85% reduction) achieved through minimizing heat loss in a building. This is achieved through a combination of building methods and technologies including thicker insulation, air-tight building envelopes, minimizing thermal bridging, triple-glazed insulated windows with solar shading, orientation of windows to maximize light exposure and high efficiency heat recovery ventilation providing 24/7 fresh air circulation. The Heights at 388 Skeena Street is targeted to be Passive House Certified and we hope to continue this success with future developments.
