... Public Works and Government Services Canada(PWGSC) in partnership with Environment Canada has initiated a process to ensure that environmental factors are taken into consideration during all project phases in the development of office space. The Green Office Building Plan(GOBP) has been developed in response to this need. The GOBP has been written to address primarily the needs of Renovation, Recapitalization and Fit-up projects, which make up the majority of the office space projects in which PWGSC is involved. When the process has been refined and tested, it will be applied to all federal office space projects in the future. 1, record 15, English, - Green%20Office%20Building%20Plan

Each member is dedicated to environmental principles contained in the Co-op's "Code of Environmental Practice". The Conservation Co-op has some unique building features relating to energy conservation and reducing impacts on the environment, which have inspired the water reuse treatment system. All members follow certain guidelines in order to achieve the goals established by the Co-op. These goals include reducing the consumption of energy, water and waste to levels significantly lower that those of conventional households and to demonstrate that housing, which reduces environmental stress, is economically feasible. 1, record 21, English, - Conservation%20Co%2Dop
