BUILDING FEATURES
Alba is a LEED Certified Candidate development, dedicated to achieving increased environmental and sustainability measures and lower operating costs.
Alba will feature a geothermal energy system. Geothermal power is clean, cost effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. The system is simple and low maintenance, which keeps repair costs to a minimum. Because geothermal energy doesn’t rely on fossil fuel as an energy source, owners are protected against future costs, such as carbon taxes and heating and cooling system retrofitting.
Alba will also utilize dedicated Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) to serve all the amenity spaces and suites throughout the building. The value of an ERV system is that it exhausts stale air and replaces it with filtered outdoor air. Additionally, during the winter months an ERV system transfers the heat and humidity from the air being extracted to the
incoming fresh (and dry) air, to help keep the ambient internal temperature and humidity level at a reasonable value at all times. In summer, the heat and humidity transfer in an ERV reverses, and a large portion of humidity and heat in outside air is removed before it is drawn into your home. This saves energy by reducing the load on air conditioning systems, and therefore reduces energy costs while contributing to maintaining indoor air quality.
As a further clean air measure, HEPA filtration systems will be included in key, high-traffic areas such as the wellness centre and co-working spaces.
