In October of 2011 a jury of CBE Industry Partners selected Enermodal Engineering Headquarters as the winner of the Livable Buildings Award for 2011, and recognized the Kresge Foundation Headquarters and the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences as honorable mentions. These projects meet the highest standards for providing healthy and productive indoor environments, and also represent best practices for sustainability and overall design.

These winning projects and other award finalists ranked among the top scorers in CBE's Occupant Indoor Environmental Quality Survey. This survey, used to study occupant satisfaction with the quality of the indoor environment, has been implemented in over 950 buildings in North America and Europe.

The Award Winner

Enermodal’s new headquarters has measured energy performance that is 82% less than a conventional building, while at the same time showing high levels of occupant comfort. The building also consumes 89% less water than a conventional building, and is the first in Canada to receive “triple” LEED Platinum certification.
