Summary
Richmond City Hall’s large, central atrium floods a two-storey circulation pathway with natural light providing a pleasing, spacious environment. Occupants have access to operable windows, individual temperature controls, and access to the outdoors through balconies.
Designed to use 26.4% less energy than the MNECB, a comprehensive energy reduction strategy results in an annual energy savings of $32,700. Heating is provided with an efficient four-pipe fan coil system, and a ceramic frit on the west exterior façade provides shading which in turn reduces solar heat gain by 50%. Landscaping maintained existing tree groups on site, and reduced water consumption with an efficient drip irrigation system.
Technology: Heating through 4-pipe Fan Coil System; Ceramic Frit provides shading reducing solar heat gain by 50%.
