Tour:
VI ASHRAE is proud to give a tour focused on the mechanical systems of the The Rotunda mixed-use commercial building at 1515 Douglas. The Rotunda is a six-storey class AA LEED Platinum certified office and retail development located across from Victoria City Hall, owned and managed by Jawl Properties Ltd. The 110,000 sqft project features large and flexible floor plates, a high-quality materials palate and cutting-edge technologies contributing to premium working environments, industry-leading energy-performance, and stunning city views.
Mechanical features of the project include:
fully electrified HVAC system incorporating a hybrid air/ground-source heat-recovery heat-pump system
fast-acting modular radiant ceiling system providing efficient heating and cooling to all office spaces
high-efficiency centralized HRV air handling system acting as a DOAS with CO2 demand-controlled ventilation
integrated stormwater management including on-site rain gardens, a “Jellyfish” stormwater filtration system, and a 300m³ rainwater harvesting system designed to meet 100% of irrigation needs and contribute to 45% potable water use reduction site-wide
comprehensive building automation system throughout the project
The design of The Rotunda was led by DAU Studio (D’Ambrosio Architecture + Urbanism), a Victoria-based firm that specializes in urban design, civic buildings, mixed-use developments, and heritage restoration. Introba (formerly Integral Group) was responsible for Mechanical, Sustainability, and Energy Modeling consulting; AES Engineering provided Electrical consulting, RJC Engineers provided Structural and Building Enclosure consulting, WSP provided Civil Engineering consulting, and Murdoch de Greeff were the project’s Landscape Architects.
Principal and Victoria Office Leader
Since joining Integral Group in 2007, Andy has gained a mastery of the design, construction, and contractual challenges of complex projects working with clients across a diverse range of sectors. He was responsible for growing Integral’s integrated MEP team in Victoria from the ground up, and has been influential in expanding “deep green” engineering and consulting services in the Western Canada region. Andy has presented on High Performance Buildings, Large-Scale Passive House Design, and Building Electrification at BUILDEX Vancouver, the North America Passive House Network Conference, and the Passive House Canada Conference. He has also guest lectured to engineering students at UVIC and presented to local industry groups like the Vancouver Island Construction Association, and local chapters of AIBC and RAIC.
In addition to involvement in many notable green building developments in the greater Victoria area, Andy has contributed a big-picture approach to sustainability in the local built environment, working directly with the City of Victoria and District of Saanich in industry consultations on the BC Energy Step Code, and municipal Climate Leadership Plans. Andy was the Mechanical Engineer of Record on the 1515 Douglas & 750 Pandora project, and worked with Jawl Properties and the City of Victoria to demonstrate the project as one of the first commercial-scale case studies that informed the local adoption of the BC Energy Step Code and Carbon Pollution Standards.
