Heritage Woods Secondary sets a precedent for providing students with a high quality indoor and outdoor environment that models holistic decision making.

Highlights include a ground source heat pump for heat recovery, a high density boiler backup system, mechanical metering, and direct digital controls to monitor building performance. Separate exhaust systems have been installed for science fume hoods, food room stoves, art room kilns, and administration photocopiers.

Natural lighting and ventilation are maximized by siting the building on an east-to-west axis, and designing academic spaces around a central daylit atrium.

The goal of the Herman Miller MarketPlace was to create a prototype office environment that supports progressive business-place thinking within a sustainable framework. The expectation of this 95,000-square-foot speculative office was nothing less than that it be a great place to work.

The Institute for Computing, Information & Cognitive Systems (ICICS/CS) is one of the largest multidisciplinary research facilities at the University of British Columbia. Consistent with UBC’s sustainable building mandate, project goals were established to design a highly flexible facility that meets LEED© Silver standards.

Innovative mechanical strategies include the use of a high performance envelope, heat recovery chiller, and a chilled/heating slab system that results in a 52% reduction in energy consumption compared to MNECB standards. Furthermore, this system reduces greenhouse gas emissions by seventy five percent, and low-flow plumbing fixtures contribute to a 37% reduction in potable water usage.

Key Sustainability Features

• Infill development - compact high density 
• Heat recovery ventilators (HVRs) and greywater heat recovery, solar hot water system
• Building reuse and repurpose
• Pedestrian-oriented design 
• Reduced outdoor water use

This six-unit strata townhouse infill development features adaptive reuse of an auto service building, Koo's Auto Service, which was built in the 1940s. Part infill, part addition, this project achieved a Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 0.95 by renovating the existing garage building to accommodate two loft-style housing units, and building an additional four units on the former parking lot.

Koo's Corner blends into the existing heritage neighbourhood through pedestrian oriented design, sympathetic massing, colour, and roof forms that reference the surrounding houses. This design approach helped to maintain liveability on a tight lot in this high density development. By maintaining the building and name of the former auto garage the project retains the visual history of the area.

1 Abbey Drive, Mt. Angel, OR

Mount Angel Abbey’s new Annunciation Center for Theological Studies completes the Benedictine teaching, retreat and worship center on the hill above Mount Angel, Oregon. With its expansive views of the Willamette Valley, and soaring, arched windows and ceilings, the building nurtures the contemplative study of God.

Annunciation is the result of a close and dynamic collaboration between Mount Angel Abbey, SRG Partnership, SOLARC Architecture & Engineering, the University of Oregon’s Energy Studies in Buildings Laboratory (ESBL) and BetterBricks.

The 21,600-square-foot building includes six classrooms and a boardroom in a single-story portion, and 25 faculty and administrative offices and student and faculty support spaces in a three-story portion. Classrooms are used primarily September through May, but the other spaces and offices are designed to be used year-round.

The concept for Mount Angel started with data drawn from a study funded by BetterBricks of a high performance classroom innovation by ESBL, BOORA Architects and Solarc. SRG saw the findings and models and with the help of ESBL built a prototype to test and refine the design concepts for application at Mount Angel. The design innovation included a large central skylight with special integrated shading and light diffusion devices as well as optimum use of natural ventilation (see description below). The real key to success though was the willingness of the designers and owners to do the research and testing of multiple options to find the best, most cost-effective solution.

The owners and design team chose challenging goals: to employ no mechanical cooling and provide 95 percent of the annual classroom lighting demand through daylighting. To achieve these goals, they designed synergistic daylighting, and passive heating, cooling and ventilation systems. As a result of this integrated design implementation, the energy analysis completed toward the end of the design identified the building to be 62 percent more energy efficient than Oregon Energy Code required at that time. These goals honor the Benedictine traditions of hospitality, fine craftsmanship and stewardship of the earth’s resources.

In 1970, People's Food Co-op (generally called People's) set up shop in a building nearly one hundred years old that previously hosted a neighborhood grocery. The goal was to set the standard for sustainable groceries. Twenty-five years later, growing membership and an increasing customer base rendered the meager and dimly lit 2,400-square-foot space a liability to retail and office operations. To alleviate these constraints, People's renovated their existing space and grew the building to 5,400 square feet, incorporating innovative sustainable features along the way. The total project cost was approximately $900,000. From start to finish, the People's expansion demonstrates the value of viewing buildings holistically and executing integrated design processes.

Located on the campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Louis Stokes Laboratories are used for structural and cell biology research. This building, which replaced three outdated facilities, provides space for 650 scientists from nine NIH institutes. Each of the six laboratory floors is organized into six "neighborhoods" of lab modules grouped around a central core to preserve the feeling of the older, smaller buildings the scientists previously occupied. Above each occupied floor is located a modified, interstitial mechanical floor housing all utilities. This arrangement helps both construction and maintenance workers, and makes the building flexible enough to accommodate change.

The Vancouver Landfill is owned and operated by the City of Vancouver. Since 1990, an active landfill gas (LFG) collection and flare system has prevented odours and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In 2003, the City expanded the system and connected to a co-generation system built and operated by Maxim Power Corporation. Maxim pipes landfill gas to Hothouse Greenhouses, and burns the gas there, generating 5.55 MW of electricity for sale to B.C. Hydro, and 75,000 GJ/year of heat for sale to Hothouse.

The project results in a net reduction of 40,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalents per year and the recovery of approximately 500,000 GJ/year of energy (the total energy requirements of 3,000 to 4,000 homes). Revenue is approximately $300,000 per year.

The directors and staff of Way Station think of their building as a "clubhouse" — a place where "members" with long-term mental illnesses voluntarily come for clinical treatment and rehabilitation, and to take advantage of opportunities to work and socialize with other members and staff. The building is located in the heart of the Frederick Historic District, and is designed to complement the neighborhood. It is organized around a central light court with a large garden where the primary building circulation occurs.

Whitman-Hanson has many "smart building" features, such as HVAC systems that detect the number of occupants and adjust HVAC settings. This project incorporates more sensors and controls than the average school building, and requires less human intervention. Other "smart building" technologies include interactive electronic white boards for the classrooms and video broadcasting.

The building was constructed to alleviate overcrowding at the old facility. The new building has been designed to use 39% less energy than a baseline building, equating to estimated savings of up to $100,000 per year in operation costs.

The Woods Hole Research Center is a scientific and policy institution dedicated to solving the complex issue of climate change and to defending the earth's great forests. In contemplating their consolidation in a new headquarters, trustees and staff agreed that this building should reflect the Center's core ideals, support their research and education mission, and promote the health of not only the building occupants, but the larger world as well.
