Summary
Northwest High School is being built in Calgary, Alberta. Designed for 1500 high school students, under the Alberta Schools Alternative Procurement (ASAP II) approach for the Calgary Board of Education (CBE). The school sits on a uniquely sloped and terraced site; the resulting design is a compact, multi-level solution. Measurement and Verification will be used to enhance and achieve a high energy performance, complementing the well-insulated building envelope and energy-saving mechanical and electrical systems. Native and drought-tolerant plants coupled with high-efficiency plumbing fixtures will help reduce water use. Local building materials and those with recycled content and FSC-certified wood have been selected. Effective pollutant control, low VOC-emitting products and views to the exterior will ensure good indoor environmental quality.
