Livingston Place is saving water

Through the Climate Controlled Irrigation system used at Livingston Place, despite the hottest summer ever recorded in Calgary, we still managed to save on water usage.

Livingston Place recorded potable water savings of 250,000 litres and based on the City of Calgary Irrigation Service Rate of $2.8453/m³, the total $$ savings to Livingston’s outdoor water bill amounts to $714. These savings were confirmed to the usage per the irrigation meters.

Since 2017 we have registered total water savings of $6,320 at Livingston Place.

Beehives

As part of implementing QuadReal’s sustainability commitment, Livingston Place hosts thousands of bees in the two beehives  installed on the building rooftop. With this sustainable initiative, we are proud to take part in the great movement for more eco-conscious cities.

Urban beekeeping has increased as a response to a significant and constant decline in domestic honeybee colony numbers in North America. Bees pollinate more than 130 varieties of fruits and veggies around the globe – that’s a third of our food supply.

Our thousands of bees pollinate the urban flora that surrounds during the summer. At the end of the season, we harvest the honey, which we share with our community. During winter months hives are covered for hibernation and the bees will comfortably stay in the warmth of their hive, where they’ll maintain an internal temperature of up to 35 degrees Celsius!
