McGill Life Sciences Building
"The Life Sciences Complex is sited adjacent to one of the most cherished green spaces in Montreal's upper slopes of Mount Royal. The sensitive context, coupled with the University's sustainable building mandate and the architect's commitment to reducing the ecological impact of architecture, helped to establish the design team's goal of constructing an unobtrusive energy efficient building. The new Bellini and Cancer pavilions are designed to achieve LEED Gold certification with the Canadian Green Building Council".

Sound familiar? Frustration set in so he decided to do his own research. Which lead him to SmartRooms. Your can read the full details at Net Zero Energy House page.
