This new facility is a 160,000 ft2 two-storey building with underground parking. The City of Burnaby wanted a LEED Gold standard building that would reduce the environmental impact of the facility, provide a healthy indoor environment and reduce operational costs. AME opted for a central low-temperature heating loop with aerothermal heat pumps and high-efficiency back-up boilers. Additional heat is recovered from the exhaust airstream and transferred to the central loop by water-to-water heat pumps. The centralized mechanical system alongside the high-performance building envelope and lighting design have resulted in 72% energy cost savings compared to the MNECB baseline, which is equivalent to 9 of 10 LEED credits.
