Upgraded HVAC, LED lighting, and building automation systems significantly improve operational efficiency
The Woodbine Racetrack redevelopment transforms a major entertainment and racing facility into a high-performance, multi-purpose venue with sustainability embedded across systems and site design. Upgraded mechanical, electrical, and IT infrastructure, including energy-efficient HVAC, LED lighting, smart controls, and building automation, reduces operational energy use while improving performance and user experience.
Site-level strategies further reduce environmental impact. Permeable paving and native, drought-tolerant landscaping improve stormwater management and minimize irrigation demand, while low-flow fixtures reduce overall water consumption.
The project also supports lower transportation emissions through provisions for EV charging and improved transit, pedestrian, and cycling access. Material selection and construction practices prioritize recycled and locally sourced materials, alongside a waste diversion program to reduce embodied carbon and landfill impact. Ongoing commissioning, maintenance, and operational waste diversion ensure long-term efficiency and performance, positioning the facility to support future renewable energy integration and net-zero goals
