555 Cordova Street Tower

Vancouver, Canada

This project involves the construction of a 25-storey office tower on 555 Cordova Street, in Downtown Vancouver, BC. totalling approximately 377,004 sq ft of office space, this development will be delivered through an integrated design process with a strong focus on sustainability and the environment.

The project is targeting LEEDv3®C CS EAC2 (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, Core and Shell, optimised energy credit) rating of Platinum and WELL Certification as targeted by client. The project must achieve 22% Energy Cost Savings compared to ASHRAE 90.1-2010 with minimum of one water and one storm credit as mandated by City of Vancouver. Other sustainable design strategies include tilting the building’s roof toward the south to maximise energy generation through the use of photovoltaics.

The building will include measures to improve occupant comfort and energy performance while reducing the environmental impacts of construction. A series of climate and solar analyses were performed to determine the position that maximised the energy potential of the tower. Sustainable strategies will include state-of-the-art mechanical and electrical systems that will minimise energy consumption, rainwater capture/reuse systems, materials in the tower envelope to minimise solar heat gain, and the use of local, regional, and recycled materials where possible.
