TWD Spotlight in SABMag
July 31, 2024
TWD Spotlight in SABMag (Sustainable Architecture and Building Magazine)!
We’ve transformed a 1500 sq.m retail space in Williams Lake into a Net Zero Carbon Neutral office. This project showcases cutting-edge energy efficiency, innovative design, and commitment to BC’s Climate Change Accountability Act.
TWD upgraded the existing mechanical and electrical infrastructure to highly efficient systems with geothermal heating and cooling capabilities.
Based on these upgrades, the energy model predicted a reduction of up to 80% in energy consumption relative to the baseline building. To achieve Net Zero Energy, the building then offset the remaining 20% of energy consumption through on-site renewable energy in the form of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules covering most of the roof. The project is now certified Zero Carbon Building by CAGBC (V2 – Design Standard).
SABMag quoted “This project takes an underutilized, poor performing and discarded single-storey retail building and transforms it with a variety of technical interventions that make it net zero, thus greatly extending its service life. Inside, the plain box has been enlivened with light, colour and cultural references.”
TWD along with our partners are proud to be part of BC's sustainable future.
