Glasswing Going for Gold in Kelowna

For those of you in the construction industry, by now you are well aware of the name LEED and the standards that they recognize for excellence. For those of you unfamiliar though, LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is intended to provide building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.

For one particular design firm, Architecturally Distinct Solutions (ADS) from Kelowna BC, their desire has been to create a home that will set a new standard for their area with their goal being to achieve LEED Gold. This particular home / project has been named the "Glasswing".

The Glasswing residential project was a unique opportunity for Sustainable Concrete Canada to directly contribute to the commendable goal of obtaining LEED Gold through the supply and installation of our pervious concrete. All the concrete was created using our proprietary additive Hidro 600.

The project sheet (shown on the right) outlines some of the facts about this project, as well as some of the unique project details. You can also see a quick promotional video about this project on our YouTube channel by clicking here.

Congratulations also to OK builders as this was their first pervious concrete project with SCC in the area. Their commitment to quality and service is unrivalled. Anyone in the Okanagan area will benefit from the same level of quality and professionalism on their project. Use the team of OK builders and Sustainable Concrete Canada for your pervious concrete project in the Okanagan.
