This 345,000 sq. ft. administrative facility is home to 13 different Regional departments including the administration offices for the Durham Region Police Services in a six story office tower. Highlights of the building include a 5,000 square foot council chamber and a 20,000 square foot court facility integrated via a central galleria. The project also included five court rooms plus support area for the POA courts of Durham Region.
- Energy efficient heating through the use of heat reclaim from both the steam and heating boilers. This provides not only a savings in the quantity of fuel consumed but also a reduction in flue emissions.
- Demand control ventilation was utilized to reduce the quantity of outside air when the building is lightly occupied.
- Fan powered boxes have been used to promote improved indoor air quality since the fan powered boxes operate on a constant air flow rate while reducing the energy since the main AHU fans do not need to operate a full capacity during part load conditions.
- N+1 redundancy in the dedicated server room.
- NC-25 acoustic rating in the council chamber and court rooms and NC-30 in the offices.
