Summary

Key Sustainability Features

  • Track energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions using real time dashboard
  • Auto controlled operable windows and greenhouse style skylight
  • 2 heat recovery units
The Busby Perkins+Will Office, based in a renovated 1951 warehouse, uses dynamic green design elements to advance the comfort and usability of an older interior space.

The office is organized around two large atriums that were created by cutting large holes in the floor slabs both at the centre and front of all three stories of the building. These atriums maximize daylight, natural ventilation, and provide a visual connection between floors.

Automatically controlled operable windows, a greenhouse skylight, and two heat recovery units also contribute to the office operating at 40% of ASHRAE 90.1-1999.
