Bridgepoint Is Toronto’s First LEED Silver Hospital
May 19, 2015
Bridgepoint Hospital has become the first hospital in Toronto to receive LEED Silver certification, one of 202 projects across Canada that got LEED certified between Jan. 1 and April 30 by the Canada Green Building Council, including 90 LEED Gold. It brings the total number of LEED-certified projects in Canada to 2,252. Bridgepoint, a 680k facility that opened in 2013—the first purpose-built hospital designed specifically to provide care for patients requiring rehabilitation—claims to be 30% more energy efficient than a building designed to standard code requirements, generating annual savings of $900k.
