Energy efficiency
The building, which is designed for maximum energy efficiency, integrates several components that allow for significant energy savings:
Windows, skylights and lighting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
High-performance windows and skylights that maximize the use of natural light |
|
|
|
Double-paned windows and curtain walls (frontage windows) coated with low-emissivity film to conserve heat and reduce infrared radiation |
|
|
|
|
White, interior wall facing that actively reflects light |
|
|
|
High efficiency lighting combined with an intelligent building control system |
Geothermy, hydronic system, fan convector and radiant floor |
|
|
|
Ventilated thermal panels (solar heat collectors) that preheat fresh air |
|
|
|
Ventilation units that recover heat from exhaust air |
|
|
|
|
Closed loop geothermal system that uses heat from the earth to feed heating and cooling systems |
|
|
|
Radiant flooring that increases the comfort of occupants and reduces peaks in energy consumption (thermal inertia of the building) |
|
|
|
|
Ventilation and cooling systems are optimized according to alleviated energy needs resulting from other energy efficiency features |
