The new Rideau Valley Conservation Centre (RVCC) exceeded client expectations and incorporated an exemplary approach to sustainable design. Many of these initiatives were not rewarded with LEED® points. The presentation will include a discussion of how LEED® functioned as a tool and some of the challenges the team faced when pursuing a strong example of sustainable design and construction without an emphasis on LEED®. This building is exemplary because of its design, site restoration and water conservation.
