Key Sustainability Features:

• Stormwater collection system resulted in the elimination of over 1.5 million L of potable water used each year, a savings of 90% of site water use
• Potable water consumption is reduced by 88% (over 1.7 million L/year)
• 60% more efficient than the MNECB
• 5% energy from renewable technologies
• A water source heat pump reduces the building's annual GHG emissions by more than 5,000 kg of CO2- equivalents
• 98% construction waste diversion or 467,670 tonnes
• 31% of building materials were selected from local manufacturers. Of those materials, 75% were harvested within 800 km of the site
• Daylight for over 75% of spaces and views for over 90%

The White Rock Operations Building is a combination office building and operations facility that houses nine full-time staff and 18 field staff. This facility is also the base for the city's fleet of civic utility and street washing vehicles.

Dockside Green is a 1.3 million sf, mixed-use development on a former brownfield site in the heart of Victoria, BC. The first phase, Synergy, includes four buildings constructed over a common underground parking structure. The program for Synergy includes a nine-story residential tower with commercial units on the ground floors; a two-story townhouse building; a six-story building with commercial units on the ground floor and a four-story residential building. The site is bound by roads on the west and north sides; a greenway and creek on the east side; and future development on the south side.

Whitman-Hanson has many "smart building" features, such as HVAC systems that detect the number of occupants and adjust HVAC settings. This project incorporates more sensors and controls than the average school building, and requires less human intervention. Other "smart building" technologies include interactive electronic white boards for the classrooms and video broadcasting.

The building was constructed to alleviate overcrowding at the old facility. The new building has been designed to use 39% less energy than a baseline building, equating to estimated savings of up to $100,000 per year in operation costs.
