Translink

Building FunctionOperation & Maintenance    
Gross Floor AreaVarious   
LocationMetro Vancouver, British Columbia 
ScopeDevelop a Facilities Renewable Energy Plan   
Project DescriptionAs part of the Transportation 2050 vision, Translink is working to transition to 100% renewable energy for select (seven) O&M facilities by 2050. Edge was employed as part of the Caelum Strategic consortium to develop a transition plan for the Facilities. Edge provided four scenarios employing technologies such as Air Source Heat Pump, Solar Energy and Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). Each scenario provided the Client with options to transition to 100 renewable energy over the next thirty years.  
Value AddedUsing RETScreen, software developed by the National Resources—Canada, and Integrated Environmental Services—Virtual Environment software, the team at Edge has focused to recommend proven improvements & controls within the Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration equipment to prioritize energy efficiency. 

Saanich Residual Treatment Facility

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 

Riyadh Metro Carbon Study

Metro Line Study

Riyadh Metro Carbon Study

Building FunctionMetro Rail Line Three and stations 
Gross Floor AreaVarious  
LocationRiyadh, Saudi Arabia  
ScopeGreenhouse Gas (GHG) emission modeling of Construction and Operation 
Project DescriptionThe components of Line 3 incorporated into the study include the 41.8 km track and connecting 22 metro stations: nine elevated stations, four shallow stations and seven underground, two iconic stations. The tunnel portion of the track under Riyadh’s city centre was also included for analysis.  Train maintenance depots located at either end of the rail line are included, as are four multi-story park and rides interspersed along the route for easier commuter accessibility.    
Value AddedThe quantification of the operational GHG emissions determined potential carbon credits that could be sold for the project 

Iona Island Wastewater Plant

Iona Island Wastewater Plant

Building FunctionWastewater treatment plant and biosolids dewatering
Gross Floor Area1,045 square meters (11,260 square feet)  
LocationRichmond, British Columbia 
ScopeCode compliance energy modeling 
Project DescriptionThe development is a wastewater treatment plant (biosolids dewatering facility) consisting of a two-floor building on ground level and one elevated one-floor building which is raised approximately. 19 meters above the ground and supported by a metal structure. Both buildings contain significant amounts of equipment relevant to the process being carried out on site. There are several associated control room spaces adjoined to the main equipment spaces.  
Value AddedCompliant with ASHRAE 90.1 2016 Energy Cost Budget (BC Building Code 2018)
