From the EcoLock pilot poster
• EcoLock is a Self-Storage, Wine Storage and Co-Work building proposed for downtown Kelowna, BC.
• This 5-floor, 112,000 ft (10,405 m) facility will be the first in North America to combine storage and office functionality in an environmentally-responsible building, utilizing renewable energy, captured rainwater and providing a healthy, pollutant-free space for its occupants.
• The walls of the facility will be built with Super Structural R-Value (SSR) “Just Biofiber” construction blocks. This Canadian invention absorbs and retains atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) during its manufacturing process and utilizes rapidly-renewable plant fibers, resulting in a carbon-negative construction material. The walls of the building will permanently store 715,000 lbs. (324,600kg) of CO2
• The SSR blocks are registered under the International Living Future Institute’s Declare program and are Red-List Compliant.
Just Biofiber Structural Solutions is proud to announce our participation in the Canadian Green Building Council membership. As manufacturers we want to demonstrate and promote the use of sustainable green building in Canada.
