Bone Yard Operations Centre Office Expansion

The office expansion involved the design of 150 m² of new office space and the reorganization of part of the existing building to incorporate a female locker room. While the project was not targeting LEED^® Certification, the design team maintained a sustainable approach to the project and worked to achieve the most sustainable building practicable.

Some key features include:

• A clerestory was incorporated into the roof as a result of the shadow analysis, which allowed the building to be orientated and designed to optimize natural day-lighting.
• Operable windows were included to encourage natural ventilation from the cool forest breezes in through the low level windows and out the clerestory louvers.
• Heat pumps were used to heat and cool the building.
• Low flow-rate faucets and WCs conserve water consumption.
