Challenges and Solutions

• Two ambitious projects (along with the 455 De la Carrière Blvd. Building in Gatineau), carried out simultaneously, with competitive prices, and each with a very tight schedule).
• Real estate development on an existing contaminated site.
• Reducing light pollution in order to minimize the impact on the night environment with a maximum of 0.35 lux at the edges of the property.
• EE4 energy simulations to demonstrate proposed solutions that would reduce energy consumption by 57.7 %, in relation to a similar building studied by the MNECB. This represents an 18 % improvement in terms of initial design objectives set by the team.
• Green roof in order to reduce heat islands and limit the quantity of rainwater returned to the sewers.
• Aiming for LEED-CS Gold certification.
