ATLANTIC CANADA water from pipes deep in the adjacent waterway, and a chilled beam technology, originally used in Europe, in- tegrated here with modern-day heat exchangers. This innovation “uses water passing through small pipes car- rying greater capacity to cool the space via induction units located throughout the ceiling,” Chan said. “It is far more efficient and quieter than any in-ceiling fan sys- tem.” “There is also rainwater collection and recycling for use in the building. Design estimates have the building achieving substantial energy and water savings, and NSPI is in the process of evaluating the building’s per- formance.” The building has already been honoured by the Cana- dian Green Building Council as the first Atlantic Canada building to receive LEED Platinum certification. It has also been recognized with the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Engineering, and from the As- sociation of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO), Awards of Merit in two categories: Restoration and Adaptive Reuse, and Restoration and Adaptive Reuse – Sustainable. info@cfmsatlantic.ca Wade Tucker - 902 240 2575 Morris Gelevan - 902 483 4822 CFMS Atlantic Ltd is proud to be the Commis- sioning Consultant of choice for the first LEED Platinum building in Atlantic Canada.
