At HSS Design Build, we believe that the most sustainable course of action for the construction industry is to prioritize retrofitting the existing housing inventory. By upgrading what we already have, we can significantly reduce carbon emissions, eliminate reliance on fossil fuels, and create healthier, more resilient homes for the future.

The Pavilion is once again in the spotlight in the Rocky Mountain Outlook, this time for a very special reason—it has been given a meaningful new name. On November 25, the council unanimously approved the renaming of the recreation grounds to Sundance Park and the pavilion to Okâch (Welcome) – Îyethkabi Oûgitûbi (Staging Area to the Mountains).

For the second year in a row, the Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley and the Bow Valley Builders and Developers Association (BOWDA) hosted an inspiring event that brought together leading organizations and companies from across Alberta. The symposium focused on the state of sustainable construction, urban planning, and environmental conservation in the built environment.

The Banff Recreation Grounds Pavilion, which HSS designed and constructed, was recently featured in Rocky Mountain Outlook as the most energy efficient building built by the Town of Banff! We also received the Pavilion's certification plaque from the Passive House Institute!

Thank you to the Bow Valley Chamber of Commerce for recognizing us with the "Sustainability in Action Award" at the 2023 Bow Valley Business Excellence Awards! 

We are so excited to announce that the public Pavilion, which we at HSS designed and built, is now open to the public! The Pavilion is the most energy efficient commercial building in Banff National Park, and meets the standard of a Passive House Low Energy Building. The building is also Barrier Free to the Rick Hansen standard.
