Challenges and Solutions

• Aiming for LEED certification.
• Adherence to PWGSC procedures, standards and norms.
• High level of security and comfort for users.
• Special measures used for noise protection in order to meet strict acoustic requirements for the shooting range. Acoustic simulations for different control scenarios.
• Double-sheath ventilation system with terminal control per room, ensuring premium ventilation and comfort.
• New underground connections for heating which would be connected to the existing plant.
• Motion detectors used to minimize operation costs.
• Simulations performed to establish minimal levels of fresh air needed to optimize flow of outside air required.
• Chilled-water system connected to the shooting range and to the existing power plant in order to optimize chillers’ energy performance according to loads.
• Reducing water consumption.
• Energy efficiency and thermal resistance of the building shell surpasses industry standards and regulatory scales, which generates energy cost savings.
• Design of one of the biggest interior shooting ranges in the country, equipped with ventilated walls to ensure laminar airflow for the shooting lanes.
