Ad Valorem Place

The City of Calgary is pursuing its first LEED Commercial Interiors certification as a part of Corporate Properties and Buildings' office building renovation project at Ad Valorem Place. The project is in the construction phase and is expected to be completed in 2009. Approximately 82,761 sq ft (7688 m_) of office space will be renovated on 3 floors throughout the building. There are approximately 215 occupants who will benefit from the improved work environment that will result from this project. The project will achieve improvements in air quality using low-emitting materials such as low-VOC paints, CRI certified carpets and GreenGuard certified furniture. Additionally improvements to the HVAC system will provide increased ventilation and monitor the delivery of fresh air. Energy consumption will be reduced with new energy efficient condensing boilers, re-lamping the existing fixtures with more efficient lamps, and the installation of occupancy sensors throughout the building. All fabrics and finishes used in the project will have as much recycled content as possible and also have low VOCs. The project will be reusing the majority of interior walls, flooring and ceiling systems and wherever possible, materials will be salvaged. Among materials planned for reuse are existing interior sidelights, interior doors and door frames.
