The Honda Canada Campus building had its construction commence in January 2008 and reached substantial completion in February 2010. The campus has three buildings, including a four-storey 138,000-sq.-ft. environmentally friendly head office, a technical centre for research and development, engineering and training and a one-storey parts distribution centre. The training center also serves as the training location for all Honda certified mechanics seeking training within Ontario. Energy-saving features such as north-south building orientation and a heat-reflective white roof, Honda Canada’s head office uses 33 per cent less energy than that of a traditional office building of the same size. Through innovative site water management, potable water consumption in the facility has been reduced by 44 per cent compared to the LEED® baseline and rainwater is collected and stored for use in the campus’ irrigation system.  Additional green building features of the campus include an energy-efficient underfloor air distribution system and a parking lot outfitted with bio-filters that filter rainwater before it is released into the public sewer system.
