A Customized Framework (cont)
As part of the long-term vision for the masterplan, buildings in Metrotown will share energy through a low-carbon network that recycles energy generated by different users of the site at various times of day. Building-integrated renewable energy generation systems are prevalent, allowing for significant onsite energy generation opportunities. Potable water is not used for any outdoor uses or for toilet flushing; instead these uses are supplemented by rainwater harvesting or treated wastewater.
