The Conservation Co-op is a four(4) storey eighty-four(84) unit apartment building, located in the Sandy Hill district of the City of Ottawa. The building is a housing cooperative where tenants as a group are committed to provide "green" alternatives in an environmentally friendly building. 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 3, English, - Conservation%20Co%2Dop

Le bâtiment de la Coopérative Conservation comporte certaines caractéristiques bien uniques en ce qui a trait à la conservation de l'énergie et à la réduction des impacts environnementaux, ce qui a inspiré le système de réutilisation d'eau. Tous les membres doivent contribuer à l'atteinte des buts fixés par la Coop en suivant certaines lignes directrices. Il s'agit notamment de réduire la consommation d'énergie et d'eau et la quantité des déchets à un niveau considérablement plus bas que celui des bâtiments traditionnels et à démontrer que les logements qui réduisent le stress sur l'environnement peuvent être rentables. 1, record 3, French, - Coop%C3%A9rative%20Conservation
