Partnering in Ontario’s FIrst All-Electric Net Zero Carbon Industrial Building

Empire Roofing Corporation proudly announces its integral role in the completion of Ontario’s first-ever-all-electric Net Zero Carbon speculative industrial building! This milestone, achieved at 6750 Fifth Line in Milton, ON, stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence and sustainability.

The 234,061-square-foot industrial building features an enhanced envelope with superior roof insulation, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced air leakage. The building boasts a 500kW rooftop solar array, offsetting 100% of annual greenhouse gas emissions. Over the first 10 years, our contribution will prevent 2,151 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere – equivalent to removing 468 cars from the road!

The all-electric HVAC system, 200-300% more efficient than standard systems, ensures a projected 59% reduction in annual operating costs in the first year compared to traditional construction.

This project serves as the blueprint for the future of environmentally friendly roofing, and Empire Roofing is proud to have been a partner in its completion. As we continue to embrace sustainability, we stay committed to advancing green practices in roofing and underscore the positive impact we can collectively make on the environment.
