ROYAL VISTA EMERGENCY SERVICES STATION Serving a number of communities in Calgary’s northwest, this 4-bay, 23,680 sq ft multi-services facility provides a number of essential services to the area. The building faces the main industrial community thoroughfare acting not only as a gateway along the ‘community route’, but also serves as a civic destination for community activities. 2018
The building design responds to the prairie style design guidelines established for the industrial park and showcases a rain garden as a demonstration of stormwater management techniques. The building, which certified LEED Gold, is centered around shared services and operational functions. The building employed a complex series of sustainable initiatives to reduce the building’s dependency on the city’s utility infrastructure, effectively reducing the overall capacity needs of a fire station down to that of a large house. This resulted in significant reductions in potable water use, reductions in effluent volume needs, and storm water management impact on city storm sewers. The building also includes the use of solar panels, LED lighting, solar tubes, light shelves and efficient mechanical systems all contributing to an overall reduction in energy consumption.

We use a third-party energy consultant company to monitor our energy consumption and we review the energy reduction recommendations monthly. We have implemented green initiatives such as a waste recycling program, water-conserving plumbing fixtures, a cycle loan program, EV charging stations, and e-waste recycling that includes batteries, lamps and ballasts. In 2018, we did an LED retrofit for the exterior lighting. Through our waste and recycling program, we saved 2,301 litres of oil, 42,397 litres of water, and 5 CU MTs of landfill space. As a result of this program, we also saved 6,560 KWh of energy and reduced 43KGs of pollutants. Active tenant engagement is also a key part of drawing awareness to our ongoing sustainability efforts. This includes activities such as the EcoChallenge, which encourages tenants to reduce their environmental impact and raises awareness of energy and waste reduction efforts.
