Integral Group designed quality ventilation using a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS), which separates the exhaust air from the outside air used for ventilation, so the supply air is cleaner and never composed of recirculated air. Our careful daylight study maximized the amount of daylight used to light the buildings. The efficient lighting controls system designed by the design team turns off or dims the electrical lighting when it is not needed, or the building is not occupied. The triple-pane glazing materials reduce glare and heat gain when daylight levels are at their peak.

Vancouver International Airport CORE Program
The CORE program includes the construction of a new Central Utilities Building, which will utilize the largest geo-exchange system in Canada. Modifications will also be made to the Terminal Building to increase efficiency. The project will reduce YVR’s greenhouse gas emissions by 33%.
Since 2014, Integral Group has worked alongside the vancouver Airport Authority to develop an initial idea of reducing the Airport Authority’s and Sea Island’s greenhouse gas emissions by 33%. These early studies and designs ultimately led to the current vancouver International Airport CORE Program, where a new Central Utilities Building (CUB) is being constructed to serve the largest building in British Columbia, the existing Terminal Building. Within the Central Utilities Building, a new thermal energy plant will utilize the largest geo-exchange system in Canada—with up to 1,400 boreholes at full build-out—as its primary source of low-carbon heating and cooling. The current geo-exchange field of 840 boreholes will provide 3,700 tonnes of greenhouse gas emission reduction at completion in 2023. In addition to greenhouse gas emission reductions, the geo-exchange system also reduces potable water consumption by minimizing the use of evaporative cooling towers. Using cooling towers with plume abatement technology adds the benefit of minimizing low visibility concerns for the control tower.
The CORE Program also includes renovations to the existing Terminal Building’s infrastructure to improve energy efficiency and ready the building to work harmoniously with the new CUB. Modifications include changing the entire heating system for the Terminal from a high-temperature system to a low-temperature system.

Confidential Airport District Energy Decarbonization Plan
Sustainability targets include at least 20% energy savings over baseline and meeting local greenhouse gas intensity limits for 2024 and 2030.
Integral Group worked closely with the client to evaluate the design for the new terminal building, specifically with respect to the different sustainability targets set for the project that include at least 20% energy savings over an ASHRAE 90.1-2016 baseline and to meet greenhouse gas intensity limits set by New York City Local Law 97 for 2024 and 2030.
The team developed several wholebuilding energy models to assess the performance of the current design, and then simulate improvement scenarios towards developing a roadmap to achieve the identified targets. The main intervention involved developing an incremental transition strategy that gradually decouples the terminal building from a fossil fuel-based district energy system while simultaneously providing low-carbon thermal energy to other terminal buildings in the airport. The study determined that with a high-performance design that includes optimized envelope, high-efficiency lighting, HvAC system, and Baggage Handling System, and an onsite plant including high-efficiency ground source heat pumps to meet all project thermal energy demand, along with a rooftop photovoltaic system, it is possible to technically meet all targets.
