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.
