The First LEED® Certified Business Park in Newfoundland
Beclin, in Mount Pearl, is the first business park in Newfoundland and Labrador to be LEED® Certified. That’s a whole lot of green thinking, including natural lighting, high insulation values, managed energy, and recycled building materials.
The prestigious Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification is a rating system recognizing environmental excellence in over 160 countries. LEED® works because it recognizes that sustainability should be at the heart of all buildings – in their design, construction, and operation. Since 2004, the CaGBC has certified over 2,800 LEED® buildings in Canada and registered over 5,000 – with the second-highest number of LEED® projects anywhere in the world.
All the buildings in Beclin Business Park have been designed with natural lighting so that most operations can be carried out without the need for artificial light, saving both energy and money, and making them more pleasant places to work.
- The windows are equipped with filtered panels to diffuse natural daylight so that contents are protected.
- The buildings are designed and built for NL weather conditions with high insulation values including underfloor insulation.
- Automated energy control systems manage energy allowing for time-of-day and occupancy management.
- All materials used are chosen for their recycled and regional content. Waste materials leaving site are tracked to divert approximately 80% from landfill.
