Description

The Regional Municipality of Peel will build its new Lakeview Administration and Maintenance Building (LAMB) as a model of energy efficiency and of reducing the environmental footprint of building projects. In fact, the project will aim for at least LEED Silver accreditation, with a high potential of achievement for LEED Gold certification. The design of this signature building will emphasize long-term service life and reduced maintenance requirements, while achieving a forecasted reduction of 53.7 per cent in energy consumption compared with a conventional building under the Model National Energy Code for Buildings. The construction of LAMB at the Lakeview Water Treatment Plant (WTP) will bring some unique design elements to the building, including repurposing of a now dry reservoir for underground parking and service rooms, and use of treated wastewater to feed a heat pump system for the building. Other key technologies will include radiant floor heating, chilled beams and ceiling panels, demand ventilation, solar hot water and solar electric assist, a two-level green and reflective roof system and materials selection to reduce heat loading. Lessons learned from the LAMB project will be shared, and design elements may be integrated into other regional facilities as applicable.
