While we continue to future-proof our homes to ENERGY STAR® for New Homes and HAREI standards, we are set on a future vision of Net zero Energy and Carbon homes. In 2016, we took a major first step by building 5 Net zero Energy Homes in Calgary, which we continue to monitor and learn from. Our Downsview community in Toronto is the largest LEED for Homes Project in Canada, with 562 LEED certified homes.
Across North America, we've introduced smart technology systems in our homes. The Ecobee smart thermostat is now a standard feature, helping homeowners reduce their energy consumption and save an average of 23% on their bills. Additionally, a curated selection of integrated smart home technology, such as video doorbells, digital wall pads, smart lighting and more, is available in select communities.
Mattamy is committed to protecting, fostering and building green space, including the 138-km Mattamy/Rotary Greenway in Calgary, green rooves on our Toronto high rises, and efforts to increase tree canopy coverage. Our Natural Heritage Systems protect and enhance ecological features in our communities, including a variety of habitats for native species.
We're committed to understanding and managing our carbon footprint and creating long-term carbon emission reduction goal that will make a meaningful contribution towards climate change mitigation. Once we develop a complete inventory of our emissions and establish our data systems, we will create a carbon strategy, set reduction targets and move towards building carbon emission free communities.
