The Toronto Green Standard, TEDI ratings and a fabric-first approach - What does it all mean for balcony design? ♻️

Here are three key points you need to know.

♻️ Lower TEDI ratings indicate higher energy efficiency and are beneficial for both the environment and cost savings.
♻️ Sustainable balcony design, such as prefabricated solutions like Sapphire's Next Generation system, can contribute to lower TEDI ratings and overall sustainability in construction.
♻️ The weight reduction on a building's structure compared to a concrete balcony with Sapphire's Next Generation system can be up to 4kNm.
