LEED® PROJECTS
As energy and environmental awareness move into the mainstream, Lindsay is changing the way we construct buildings to suit environmentally conscious clients' focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship.
Leadership in Energy Efficient Design is a natural fit at Lindsay. Our five decades of Design-Build experience, in addition to heavy involvement in building systems that are inherently LEED® compliant, are fundamental to this natural compatibility.
To make the most of this fit we have focused much effort on LEED® capabilities in recent months. Our staff now includes various LEED® Accredited Professionals and are adding to our LEED® experience as a Design-Builder.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating SystemTM is the accepted standard for design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings in North America. By obtaining a LEED® designation, a project has verified its' commitment to sustainability by meeting higher performance standards in environmental responsibility and energy efficiency.
Many of our clients now recognize the importance of sustainable and environmentally responsible development and construction practices. Lindsay Construction is taking the necessary steps to be an industry leader in this field and have a very keen interest in upcoming Green projects.

Brooklyn Fire Hall
(Brooklyn, Nova Scotia)
Brooklyn Fire Hall is a Design-Build 22,500 sq. ft. 2-storey Tilt-Up Concrete facility housing 5 truck bays, offices/support services, and a single storey community centre on the main level.
Targeting LEED® Silver status, the highly efficient building envelope is outfitted with a geothermal heating and cooling system.
“The new building is a lot bigger and a lot nicer. It’s been a good experience,” comments Rick Sherard, Brooklyn Town Engineer. “If I had questions or concerns I went straight to Lindsay’s Project Manager. He kept me informed and any issues were resolved quickly.” |

Lindsay Construction is pleased to have constructed a state-of-the-art 180,000 sq. ft. service and storage facility for Metro Transit and Halifax Regional Municipality.
A 118,000 sq. ft. single-storey storage building and 60,000 sq. ft. 2-storey service garage occupy the 16-acre site in Ragged Lake Business Park.
The structures have been built to target LEED® Silver standards for energy efficiency, thermal occupant comfort, and use of regional and recycled materials.

Dorey Avenue-2
(Burnside Industrial Park - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia)
Lindsay constructed this Design-Build Tilt-Up Concrete building at 122 Dorey Avenue in Burnside Industrial Park. The versatile, multi-tenant warehouse facility was constructed to conform to LEED® NC standards and was the first LEED® candidate of its type in Canada.
The multi-tenant leased warehouse is a 63,180 sq. ft. Tilt-Up Concrete building with a 24 ft. clear height. Sandwiched panel walls, underslab insulation, and an R-30 insulated roof contribute to an efficient building envelope.
Primary heat is supplied by a natural gas fired in-floor heating system with supplementary natural gas unit heaters adjacent to loading bay doors. Site cast and erected concrete construction allowed the building to be constructed with a large volume of locally available materials and a high percentage of recycled content through the reduction of Portland cement in the concrete.
Punched windows around the entire perimeter of the building, at 20 ft. high, will provide up to 75% daylighting in the space. This is enhanced by the supplemental skylights to make up for losses caused by racking inside the warehouse.
Lighting is designed with high-efficiency fluorescents, dimmers, and motion sensors to supplement daylight available through the glazing.
