Translink
Translink
| Building Function | Operation & Maintenance |
| Gross Floor Area | Various |
| Location | Metro Vancouver, British Columbia |
| Scope | Develop a Facilities Renewable Energy Plan |
| Project Description | As 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 Added | Using 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. |
Arriyadh Metro Western Station
Arriyadh Metro Western Station
| Building Function | Metro Rail station and bus depot |
| Gross Floor Area | 12,500 square meters (134,548 square feet) |
| Location | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia |
| Scope | LEED Executive |
| Project Description | The development is composed of a bus route and a link to Line Three of the Riyadh Metro. The design concept of the station building is a modern interpretation of the “desert sand dunes”. Combining a state-of-the-art transit station with complementary mixed-used development and year-round public space, the station will create a new emblem of civic identity and community pride in its mix of uses. Ultimately it will create the first of a new generation of facilities to truly integrate transit and culture. Energy and water efficiency, occupant comfort, and ease of maintenance were functional priorities in the station’s design. |
| Value Added | – LEED New Construction v3 Gold precertification – Assistance provided for LEED energy modeling |
Riyadh Metro Downtown Station
Riyadh Metro Downtown Station
| Building Function | Metro Rail Station with retail |
| Gross Floor Area | 19,600 square meters (210,972 square feet) |
| Location | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia |
| Scope | LEED Executive |
| Project Description | The Qasr Al Hokm Downtown Metro Station will be one of the main focal points of the new Riyadh mobility. The station itself is made up of an urban scale public concourse area, retail activities and offices, ticketing facilities and access points to the two intersecting metros, the Blue Line spanning from North to South and the Red line spanning from East to West. The building stands as an icon in virtue of its large stainless steel canopy that, besides providing abundant shaded areas, channels daylight into the metro station and characterize the internal architecture. |

Saanich Residual Treatment Facility
Saanich Residual Treatment Facility
| Building Function | Wastewater Treatment |
| Gross Floor Area | 520 square meters (5,600 square feet) |
| Location | Vancouver Island, British Columbia |
| Scope | Code compliance energy modeling ASHRAE 90.1 2016 ECB Energy Model Compliant with BC Building Code 2018 |
| Project Description | This 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
Riyadh Metro Carbon Study
| Building Function | Metro Rail Line Three and stations |
| Gross Floor Area | Various |
| Location | Riyadh, Saudi Arabia |
| Scope | Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission modeling of Construction and Operation |
| Project Description | The 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 Added | The 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 Function | Wastewater treatment plant and biosolids dewatering |
| Gross Floor Area | 1,045 square meters (11,260 square feet) |
| Location | Richmond, British Columbia |
| Scope | Code compliance energy modeling |
| Project Description | The 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 Added | Compliant with ASHRAE 90.1 2016 Energy Cost Budget (BC Building Code 2018) |
