Since project implementation, new measures have included the construction of a “summer steam line,” allowing the facility to shut the boilers off and to run on a waste heat boiler for the summer months. As well, they installed two solar walls to preheat incoming air, a photovoltaics system to generate electricity and a living wall. A living wall is an air biofilter that removes and treats airborne contaminants that can contribute to low-level, negative health effects, such as headaches, asthma, drowsiness and malaise. The living wall also offers a pleasing environment for employees who can now enjoy its beauty and fragrance and the sounds of trickling water.
