Just a curious question - sorry but off topic.
I have been very impressed with Edmonton's skyscraper boom as of late. Something that I have noticed is that most, if not all of these new towers are heavy on the use of glass facade's. Knowing that Edmonton has a very similar climate as Winnipeg, how is Edmonton building/proposing all these new towers considering the new National Energy Code applies the same for them as for us.
Do they just spend more money on their projects? Are we over exaggerating the new energy code here in Winnipeg by saying glass clad buildings are a thing of the past?
Again, curious.....
