Solar-Powered Jobsite Monitoring Platform Complements Green Building Project

The Project

Limberlost Place is a mass timber project at George Brown College in Toronto. The 10-storey, mass-timber structure is built with cross-laminated columns, wood slab bands, and a structural steel core. It will house the college’s school of architectural technology as well as The Brookfield Sustainability Institute; when it opens in 2025. Limberlost Place will meet the highest tier of the Toronto Green Standard for near zero carbon emissions on new private and city-owned developments.

“Limberlost Place is about five years ahead of Toronto’s 2030 goals for sustainable design and performance. All the project partners are really driven by what’s possible in advancing sustainability. That commitment has made Limberlost a global model for mass-timber construction,” said Nerys Rau, Director, Design and Construction, George Brown College and Project Director – Limberlost Place.

Use of the Sensera Systems made perfect sense for this hyper-green project. The efficiencies Sensera’s video solutions lend to the construction phase, as well as a solar-only powered camera system, is consistent with all other measures and methods that go into constructing this über-sustainable building.

“Limberlost is the future-forward building, and having a sustainable video monitoring partner who has worked with us on many projects makes it easy to do business and continues our mission of green construction in Toronto.”—Mike Love, Superintendent,  PCL Construction
