Active Green Principles

An Environmentally Friendly Community

Qualicum Landing has been designed as an active green lifestyle community to minimize the impact on the environment and to create a green community for generations to come. By using sustainable materials, energy-efficient heating systems, and reducing water consumption through innovative landscaping, Qualicum Landing is a community that is in harmony with the land.
To minimize the impact on the environment Qualicum Landing has implemented these initiatives:

• Quality built homes by BC’s first “Built Green” Approved builder – Palladian Homes
• Nominated by BC Hydro Power Smart program as Best New Development
• Clean up and conservation with the Dept of Fisheries and Oceans on Fletcher Creek (A fish bearing stream that boarders our property)
• Use of local timber from our land on the front of the homes. Yes, we even brought in a mill to do it!
• Consistent use of environmentally friendly products and finishes
• Energy efficient heat pump for heating and air conditioning
• Environmentally friendly storm water management program
• Select outdoor solar lighting
• Energy efficient appliances
• Low flow plumbing fixtures
• Water-wise plants
• Use of natural, drought-resistant indigenous plants
