Early in the process, the MacKimmie Complex was selected as one of sixteen projects to participate in the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC)'s Zero Carbon Building pilot program, allowing access to additional technical expertise and to the sharing of experiences with other teams in the pilot program.
