Saanich Residual Treatment Facility

Building FunctionWastewater Treatment
Gross Floor Area520 square meters (5,600 square feet) 
LocationVancouver Island, British Columbia 
ScopeCode compliance energy modeling 
ASHRAE 90.1 2016 ECB Energy Model  
Compliant with BC Building Code 2018  
Project DescriptionThis facility consists of the Residual Treatment project forming an essential part of Wastewater Treatment. Located within the footprint of the Hartland Landfill in Saanich, the capital cost of the facility is estimated to be $126.8 million.   
Residual solids from the McLoughlin Point Wastewater Plant will be piped to the Residuals Treatment Facility at Hartland Landfill, where they will be treated and turned into what are known as Class A biosolids. These biosolids are a high-quality by-product safe for beneficial use.   
The HVAC system requirements for the facility are largely process-driven. This differs from the majority of building types where the HVAC is designed based primarily on the occupants of the building.  
Value Added– Compliant to ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Energy Cost Budget (BC Building Code 2018) 
– Utilised experience on similar projects to include within the energy model, the complex processes occurring in the Facility
