Cameco Operations Centre
Project Description
Cameco Corporation required a new office building. The project team was challenged with designing a building that was modern, comfortable and above all sustainable. Unique innovations used on the project included: active chilled beam cooling units, a double recovery wheel air handling unit and evacuated tube solar collectors. Additional leading edge technology included: high-efficiency modulating condensing boilers, inslab radiant heat and variable speed pumping throughout the building. High performance controls were used including a "real time" energy monitor that allows occupants to see the energy being used in the facility as it changes through the day. Water conservation was another focus. Very efficient plumbing fixtures were used to reduce potable water demand. Ultimately this building was modeled to use nearly 70% less energy than the equaivalent building built to the Model National Energy Code for Buildings and over 55% less potable water than a standard building of this size.
