HVAC
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning is supplied to tenant premises by means of a ceiling ductwork system, through troffer light fixtures and perimeter diffusers. Return air for both interior and perimeter zones is taken through light fixture openings to the ceiling space, which acts as a return air plenum.

The HVAC system is controlled via a Reliable Controls Automation System. The VAV system provides a constant temperature, and the Perimeter Fan Coil Units provide heating and cooling. The average interior control zone on the VAV system is 1400 square feet; the average Perimeter Fan Coil control zone is 200 square feet. Conditioned outside air is introduced at a rate of 20 CFM per occupant. After hours HVAC is available at an additional hourly rate.


LIGHTING & CEILING SYSTEMS
Lighting is provided by recessed 20" x 60", energy efficient, single tube T8 fluorescent fixtures with acrylic lenses. Open area lighting levels average 650 to 750 lux with a design criteria of 2.3 watts/sq.ft. at desk height. The light fixtures are portable plug-in fixtures, and fit in the 5' -0" ceiling module in any of six possible positions which provides complete flexibility in office space planning.

Lighting is controlled via a low voltage relay system by Canadian General Electric (CGE), allowing local control as well as central control by computer. The ceiling system is exposed T-bar based on a 20" x 60" grid. The lay-in acoustical panels are mineral fibre, 20" x 60", with a factory applied white finish with high light reflectance.


ELECTRICAL
A grid of power outlets in the ceiling of each floor with empty conduit to a 120/208 Volt panel located on each floor. These panels obtain their power from the 347/600 Volt bus duct riser which serves no mechanical loads, reducing susceptibility to spikes and power dips. Space exists in each electrical room to add a second 120/208 Volt panel and transformer.

The electrical design criteria for tenant use is 1.5 watts/sq.ft. for normal power, and 2 watts/sq.ft. for computer use assuming a terminal and screen every 300 sq.ft. and a printer every 600 sq.ft.; one electrical outlet per 1500 sq.ft. is provided.

- domestic cold water cap-offs at each floor
