 플래티넘 LEED 인증을 수여 받은 캐나다 서비스 센터에요.
친환경인 건축물을 계획한다는 것이 일반 공간을 계획을 할때 보다 금액적으로
부담되는 것이 맞지만 건축을 하는 사람이라면
많은 시간을 보내는 거주자 및 이용자를 이용한다면
당연히 선택해야 하는 조건이죠.
여기서도 공식적으로 사용되는 법칙으로 계획하였어요.
서측, 북측 최대한 창의 개구면을 줄이고
남측에는 창의 개구면을 늘렸죠.
남측의 냉방부하는 남측의 깊은 캔틸레버로
계획했어요.

The Restoration Services Centre was the first building in Eastern Canada to be certified LEED Platinum. The workshop and office responds to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority’s mandate to facilitate a broad understanding of integrated approaches to sustainable living.

The design focuses on using simple, low-cost solutions to drive high performance sustainability outcomes. For example, a careful analysis of the building’s orientation influenced basic design decisions. The east/west orientation of the building maximizes the benefits of north and south exposures. The deep, south facing porch shields the windows from hot summer sun but allows the winter sun, which is lower in the sky, into the building. Low occupancy areas, such as the workshop and change rooms, were located at the west end of the building to further shelter the office space from harsh afternoon sun. This, in addition to generous north facing windows and a narrow floor plate, provides for abundant natural light, substantially lowering reliance on artificial lighting and cooling.

The building’s long vestibule ensures that the exterior door has closed before the interior door is opened, preventing the outside air from rushing into the building. The long brick wall that lines the entryway were constructed of brick salvaged from a demolished older building.

Within the main double height space, much of the structure has been left exposed to promote a better understanding of the building’s construction. Through the use of a ground source heat pump, occupancy and photocell sensors for artificial lighting, heat recovery and passive tempering of fresh air, a high level of energy efficiency was achieved. Composting toilets, waterless urinals and ultra low flow faucets and shower heads drastically reduce potable water consumption.
