DelRidge Homes and GreenLife Energy havejoined forces to bring Canada’s most progressive office building in the field of sustainable technology to Milton. GreenLife Business Centre, located at 450 Bronte Street will not only demand approximately 22% of the normal amount of operational energy at about 137,500 kwh of energy per year, but at the same time, it will produce approximately 328,000 kwh/year from a dynamic fully oriented 250,000 watt PV array.

DelRidge is committed to building to a “net zero” energy standard, and promotes this as the next logical step in the leadership towards substantive and meaningful change in the industry of sustainable technology. Through the use of their own well developed and evolving building system called EnerBuild 7000e, DelRidge employ the latest technologies in conservation and energy monitoring. GreenLife Energy, a wholly owned sub company of DelRidge, operates remote solar arrays as well as their own remote wind facilities producing any shortfall on sites which require the seal of “net-zero”.

This project, geared to professionals in the field of green technology, goes far beyond the target making it the only “net-positive” facility of its kind in Canada. Through allocation, the surplus energy of approximately 190,500 kwh/year will be assigned to residential projects which are harder to achieve the “net-zero” status on their own site.

DelRidge and GreenLife have taken this bold step as an example for others to aim beyond the norm and to demonstrate that sustainability is not just a word. DelRidge and GreenLife believe that their role is equally split between the evolution of these types of facilities and the collection and evaluation of data for years after completion. The commitment to verification plays a pivotal role in the fine tuning of these systems for future endeavors. DelRidge and GreenLife conduct their companies in an “open book” manner by sharing any of their own
systems and are particularly receptive to any and all new ideas in the field of positive and measurable change.
