The Town is committed to building a greener future, starting with how we design and power our own facilities. By constructing new buildings to high environmental standards and adding green technologies, we're reducing our environmental impact. Check out some of the exciting corporate projects we've prioritized to keep sustainability at the forefront in Okotoks!
The Town of Okotoks received its first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Gold certification in 2015 for the Southridge Emergency Services Building. The three-storey, 30,000 ft² facility achieves 41% energy cost savings through initiatives such as triple-paned glass to prevent heat leaks and 31% indoor water savings through a built-in rainwater harvesting system for washing emergency vehicles!
