The West Vancouver Memorial Library (WVML) was awarded LEED Canada for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance Silver certification, thereby becoming the first existing building in British Columbia to be LEED Canada EB: O&M certified and the first library in Canada to achieve the status.
The 56,000 square foot library added new mechanical and electrical systems. Between 2006 and 2010, the WVML reduced electricity consumption by 34 percent. The building also adopted a sustainable purchasing policy for ongoing consumables and electronics.
