BILLINGS BRIDGE CENTRE IS COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT

We know that communities are mindful of the buildings that surround them and we take pride in keeping our community looking its best through various green initiatives. Billings Bridge Shopping Centre is BOMA BEST certified. BOMA BEST is Canada’s largest environmental assessment and certification program for existing buildings. It is a unique, voluntary program designed by industry for industry; it provides owners and managers with a consistent framework for assessing the environmental performance and management of existing buildings of all sizes.

BOMA BEST Sustainable Buildings certification recognizes excellence in energy and environmental management and performance in commercial real estate. The Program is managed by the Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada (BOMA Canada) and delivered by the eleven Local BOMA Associations throughout Canada.

We are aware of the leadership role we must play to contribute to the protection and improvement of our environment. We are committed to taking concrete steps to reduce greenhouse gases.

We aspire to continue our green footprint through education, practicing and implementing green initiatives in our community. All of us at Billings Bridge Centre are educated in environmental issues and each of us actively participates in reducing GHG emissions.

Recycling is one of our most significant priorities. Recycling stations have been placed within the centre where recyclable materials such as newspapers, cans, glass and plastics can be disposed of.

• WATER CONSERVATION

           Low flow toilets and faucets in our restrooms save and conserve water. Our cleaning products are environmentally-friendly to keep our environment clean.

• LIGHTING

• Lighting of indoor and outdoor common areas is controlled by a timer in order to turn off of reduce the lighting outside business hours.

• HVAC

  Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems automatically reduce their energy consumption outside business hours and turn off when unnecessary.

• ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

  Through its environmental management program, Billings Bridge Centre closely monitors environmental compliance in our Centre. We have also strengthened the language in our standard lease document, which outlines tenants’ obligations with regard to environmental legislation.
