TELUS House at 25 York receives first
LEED® Dynamic Plaque in Canada

Back in 2012, TELUS House became Toronto’s first building to achieve LEED® Platinum for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance. Recently, this class AAA office tower was also the first property in Canada to install a LEED® Dynamic Plaque this summer.

The LEED® Dynamic Plaque is a live building performance monitoring and scoring platform, providing annual LEED re-certification and global benchmarking. It measures building performance across five categories: Energy, Water, Waste, Transportation and Human experience, and generates a current performance score which is updated whenever new building data enters the platform.
