Project

T3 STERLING

Toronto, ON

T3 is a global staple that is on the rise to be implemented more frequently. It is a combination of timber, transit and technology designed to inspire and keep up with today’s talent.

Located in Toronto’s junction triangle neighborhood, T3 Sterling is composed of 3 main office and retail space buildings, surrounded by exemplary private parks and future residential mid-high rise buildings.

Working alongside a well renowned developer such as Hines, we were able to contribute to their target of obtaining LEED Gold and WELL certification by providing alternate decentralized water solutions for their facilities.

In their journey of embodying the highest standards of sustainability, we worked alongside high level engineers to implement water reuse systems to meet their demands for toilet flushing applications overcoming numerous spatial and design constraints.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Collaborated with TMP on designing a Tier 3 system suitable to collect and treat rainwater from green roof runoff suitable for toilet flushing demand.
  • The system contributes to LEED Gold and WELL certifications for one of Toronto’s most developed and sustainable developments.
  • System robustness, ease of installation, and reduced maintenance frequency meets and surpasses the goals of one of Canada’s major mechanical contractors Modern Niagara and Global investors Hines.

Solution

The substantial increase in green roof implementations across Toronto’s commercial and residential development requires creative and trusted methods to treat and reuse the water adequately.

Net Zero Water utilizes an ozone based treatment system to address color, tannin, manganese and iron, low UVT and TSS so that the UV disinfection system can disinfect as intended.  As a result, treated, colorless water was supplied for toilet flushing end use and tenant satisfaction.

The final packaged design was optimized to comply with spatial constraints while still surpassing internal hydro-testing and achieving ESA certification. The system is controlled via a PLC controller with an HMI screen which connects to the BAS providing the smartest and most up to date, self sustaining system to inform us of maintenance requirements and track water consumption levels.

The system has been commissioned and operating personnel have been trained on the to ensure safe and high level functionality for future years.
