Environmental Highlights of the Centre

One of the first 100% radiant heated and cooled buildings in North America, the Centre takes advantage of the thermal storage properties of concrete and has hot and cold water tubes embedded in the floors and ceilings of the building.
Nine, 20 metre long concrete Earth Tubes buried below the frost line pre-temper the air prior to entering the building's air-handling unit, significantly reducing energy requirements.
50% reduction in lighting energy requirements provided by north-facing skylights which are also used to accommodate solar panels for heating domestic water.
