CES Group were engaged as Prime Consultant by Toronto Community Housing (TCH) for the comprehensive renewal of the Mechanical & Electrical systems at six (6) high rise buildings across TCHs portfolio.

Falstaff Towers, 40 Falstaff Avenue is a number of 20-story high rise rental apartment buildings built in 1972, consisting of 190no apartments and a total of 96,700 SQFT of conditioned space, and 3 levels of below ground parking.

The design and construction phases were implemented concurrently on all six buildings and the project was developed in line with the Social Housing Apartment Improvement Program (SHAIP) for eligible high-rise apartment buildings across Ontario.

CES were responsible for multi-disciplinary team management throughout the entire design, construction and warranty periods to fully implement the SHAIP Programs mandate and realise its performance targets. The work was inclusive of design in accordance with the current Ontario Building Code requirements. The project focus was primarily on energy reducing retrofits and end-of life equipment replacement.

The Social Housing Apartment Improvement Program (SHAIP) is a capital program for eligible retrofits that utilise the latest low-carbon and carbon-free energy technologies/systems in social housing apartment buildings to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). To support their Climate Change Action Plan, Ontario Province made available $556 million for the SHAIP program to be spent over 4 years.
