here was 75, and the final ‘as-built’ energy model showed an improvement at 73 ekWh/m2
. All extra power from the solar panels is exported to other campus buildings.
Necessary to satisfying extreme levels of hyper-efficiency, establishing an energy budget at the outset of the project represented a fundamental shift in the design approach. Joanne McCallum, Executive Architect and Principal in Charge at mcCallumSather, explained, “The energy budget became a driver, not a consequence, of design decisions and an equal priority to the stringent financial budget. All design decisions revolved around meeting these targets, but without sacrificing the high quality of student experience essential to the success of this institution.” The environmental technologies include: a high-performance building envelope consisting of triple-glazing and insulated pre-cast sandwich panels to maximise heating and cooling as well as natural light; a green roof with extensive planted areas; 28 geothermal wells; a variable refrigerant flow heat pump system; a dedicated outdoor air ventilation system; illumination and occupancy sensor-controlled LED lighting; high-efficiency plumbing fixtures; as well as extensive measurement and verification protocols and infrastructure. Far surpassing the building air tightness target of 2 lps/m2 cent better than projected.
, testing revealed it to be 0.545 lps/m2 , 73 per
