Green Initiatives on Tour
The Sustainable Condo™ makes use of today’s most environmentally friendly technologies, materials and products.
The Sustainable Condo™ is a full-size presentation suite made entirely of green technologies and sustainable products available today. Proudly supported by Minto, The Sustainable Condo has been touring since its creation in 2004 to events including the International Home Show, IIDEX and Green Living Show. You can experience it next at the CNE, August 17th to September 3rd.
The Sustainable Condo shows visitors that “they can live lightly on the land, saving energy and resources, and not sacrifice attractive spaces,” says Mark Salerno of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
The CMHC presents The Sustainable Condo with the support of many partners including Minto. Busby Perkins + Will Architects designed the suite, which was conceived by EcoSmart Foundation.
The exhibit provides information on environmental issues, showcases new green products, and guides consumers to the resources they need to make positive changes.
“The Sustainable Condo allows us to move people from the concept stage to action. We help move them to a position where they can make concrete steps to live differently,” Salerno says.
A recognized leader in green building initiatives, Minto designs its new condominiums to LEED® Canada certified standards for high performance and sustainability. MintoSkyy is a LEED® Canada candidate, designed to be environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to help residents save money.
 As you tour The Sustainable Condo, you’ll recognize many features of your new Minto home, including energy and water-saving appliances, high-efficiency and performance heating, cooling and ventilation systems, non-toxic building materials and the Minto inspired All-Off switch.
