Bringing a vintage Vancouver building into a zero-carbon future
Vancouver’s landmark 26-storey Arthur Erickson Place was built in 1968, a time when energy and efficiency were rarely used in the same sentence.
Today, the downtown office tower, on the northeast corner of West Georgia and Thurlow streets, is getting a refit that will reduce the building’s carbon emissions by 97 per cent and achieve a Zero Carbon Building-Performance Standard certification from the Canada Green Building Council.
