Canon’s Brampton HQ achieves LEED Gold

BRAMPTON, ONT. — The new five-storey, 180,000-square-foot Canon Canada headquarters in Brampton, Ont has been awarded LEED Gold certification in the New Construction and Major Renovations category.

According to a July 22 statement, features leading to the LEED Gold status include energy reduction and efficiency measures built into the lighting and cooling/heating systems, with LED lighting that helps to save about 70 to 80 per cent on energy; natural light and solar-adaptive shading that help maximize daylight in the office while minimizing glare and solar heat; a rooftop greywater collection system to help cut 20 per cent of the building’s annual domestic city water usage; and a kitchen digestion system to help reduce and divert and organic waste from landfills.

Canon Canada collaborated with Colliers Project Leaders and architects Moriyama & Teshima on the project.
