The Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP), one of Triovest’s largest clients, has introduced an awards program to honour its property managers who show leadership in environmental and energy performance. In its inaugural year, HOOPP’s Leadership in Environmental Advance Program (LEAP) awards is recognizing its “Low Energy Leaders” or the top 10 most energy efficient buildings within the HOOPP portfolio across Canada.

In order to be considered for this LEAP Low Energy Leader award, the eligible buildings must be classified commercial with 30% or less vacancy and have full energy consumption data for the entire 2011 calendar year.  The eligible buildings were then given a normalized energy-use intensity score and ranked accordingly.

We are pleased to announce that Triovest was successful in securing a total of four of the top 10 Low Energy Leader awards this year.  The following buildings were awarded this year’s LEAP award:

2^nd Place – ATCO Centre

7^th Place – Willingdon Park Phase I

8^th Place – Sussex Place

10^th Place – 200 Graham Avenue

Please join us in congratulating all personnel involved and on HOOPP’s achievements in environmental stewardship.
