Every aspect of the project’s architecture, mechanical design and energy resource utilization provides energy-saving solutions. The systems include; a triple-pane curtain wall design, operable windows, 100% outside- air supply, radiant heating and cooling, recapture of heat produced by the on-site TELUS telecom equipment, solar panels, and captured rainwater for non-potable water and irrigation, amongst other technologies. The net result? When compared to other office environments, the telus garden office building will use approximately 30% less energy. With the additional use of recaptured heat from the TELUS data centre, the total system results in an overall 80% reduction in grid energy demand for heating and cooling. In all, telus garden will reduce CO2 emissions by over 1,000,000 kgs annually, equivalent to planting 400,000 trees a year.
