Summary

This five-storey office building is the product of a 1997 Public Works Canada competition, setting a precedent for green office design that is both efficient and elegant. The competition required an “advanced office building” within a competitive building budget.

The building has won five awards. Besides striving to be energy efficient and environmentally sustainable, the design focused on employee comfort and workspace flexibility.

To decrease construction costs and waste, recycled glass was used as an infill material and 90% of existing vegetation was maintained.

Technology: Sensor based energy management of energy needs.
