The partners at ExactET are pleased to confirm that our climate controlled irrigation program is LEED compliant and can now aid in the achievement of several LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits.

“We have been working on this project for several months with Green Alberta, but it has been well worth the wait,” said ExactET’s co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Graham Duffy.

“Now, not only can we offer our clients huge water savings, we can also help them in their quest for highly valued LEED accreditation.”

The 2009 results are in.

They have been checked and audited.

And the winners are...the clients of ExactET

In what many consider to be a ‘wet’ summer, ExactET’s customers on average watered their landscapes only 34 times compared to 60 times for those people who still use conventional timer-based irrigation systems.

“We call ourselves Canada’s leader in climate controlled irrigation,” said Graham Duffy, Exact’s Chief Executive Officer, “and the results now in hand confirm we walk the talk.

“For obvious reasons – weather patterns, type of soil, condition of existing irrigation etcetera – we cannot tell people how long it is before they get their money back.  But what we do know is the vast majority of our clients have a return on investment of two years or less.”

Tonko Realty Advisors Ltd. converted more than 20 of their Calgary properties to climate controlled irrigation in 2009.

The combined average water savings at the Tonko properties is 44 per cent.
