Title: P3Architecture and Sustainable Design


1
P3Architecture and Sustainable Design
  • Sustainable Design Strategies

2
What is Sustainable Design?
  • Sustainable design is an approach which meets our
    current needs without jeopardizing the ability
    of future generations to meet their own needs
  • It minimizes environmental impacts, it minimizes
    importation of goods and energy, and it minimizes
    the generation of waste.
  • Sustainable design demands an understanding of
    our place within the ecology of our planet, and
    an understanding of the consequences of our
    actions.

Case Study
  • 10 Research Drive- The Terrace Building

4
The Terrace Building
  • Exterior Shell complete in 2000
  • Interior fit-ups complete in 2001
  • Exterior Landscaping is currently underway and
    scheduled for completion in 2004.

5
The Terrace Building
  • Won the 2003 NRCan Energy Efficiency Award for
    the New Buildings Category
  • Was awarded CBIP (Commercial Building Incentive
    Program) status.
  • Is one of the most energy efficient buildings in
    Canada- It is 60 more efficient than the Model
    National Energy Code Building.

6
The Terrace Building
  • Cornerstones of Sustainable Design
  • Simple Technology Appropriate to Functional Need
  • Consideration of Climate and Orientation
  • Avoid Over Dependence on Mechanical Systems
  • Use Environmentally Sensitive Materials
  • Utilize an Integrated Design Approach

7
The Terrace Building
  • Simple Technology Appropriate to Functional Need
  • Utilized a high quality architectural enclosure
  • Double glazed, argon filled, thermally broken
    windows.
  • R-30 walls
  • R-40 Roof

8
The Terrace Building
  • Consideration of Climate and Orientation
  • May not always be possible given pre-existing
    conditions, in this case a pre-existing Master
    Plan required a particular building orientation
  • Overhangs and Buttresses shield the large
    expanses of glass from the summer sun.

9
The Terrace Building
  • Avoid Over Dependence on Mechanical Systems
  • Utilize passive technologies
  • Naturally ventilated- Air rises through stack
    effect to Rotunda Drum ventilating atrium and
    office wings

10
The Terrace Building
  • Avoid Over Dependence on Mechanical Systems
  • Large windows and light wells allow natural
    light to penetrate the office wings reducing
    artificial light requirements.
  • The building uses 1 watt/ square foot of power.

11
The Terrace Building
Use Environmentally Sensitive Materials
  • Tyndall Stone from local (Manitoba) source
  • Granite from Quebec
  • Concrete with fly ash filler
  • Aluminum column surrounds from recycled content
  • Carpet with recycled content
  • All materials were selected with consideration
    for low VOCs

12
The Terrace Building
Utilize an Integrated Design Approach
  • Facilitate an approach that involves all parties
  • Architects, engineers, owner, contractors work in
    an integrated team.
  • Sustainable Design Goals are identified and all
    design decisions are made with an attempt to
    satisfy these requirements

13
Laboratory Building Addition
  • Utilize tried and proven building technologies in
    creative ways (similar to the Terrace)
  • Utilize an Integrated Design Approach

14
Laboratory Building Addition
  • Examine options for passive systems, natural
    lighting and ventilation
  • Explore opportunities for recycled materials,
    reducing water consumption and storm water
    retention
