© gerry Kopelow Above The free heating and passive airflow of ventilation air in the winter gardens allow for 100% fresh air distribution with minimal energy usage. The fresh air and daylight are ideal for casual meetings and regularly host lunch-hour fitness classes. Left Incoming ventilation air is conditioned by 79 ft tall winter gardens, known as the “lungs” of the building. These spaces rely on passive solar heating and shading to control air temperature, while a water feature manages humidity. The winter garden height was chosen to allow the stack effect to distribute fresh air naturally to each floor. © eduard Hueber Tower office secTion MANITOBA HYDRO T YPICAL TOWER OFFICE SECTION - east and west faces offer double skin facade with occupant controlled natural ventilation - oor to ceiling height of 3.31m (10'-10") - oor to ceiling glazing, typical - overhead radiant heating and cooling - air and services distributed through raised access oors SPATIAL OFFICE CONCEPTS BY KPMB F IT-UP IMPLEMENATION AND DEVELOPMENT BY MC/IBI JUNE 12, 2008 SCALE 1:250 contained spaces open workstations glass transom demountable partition oor to ceiling glazing - optimal daylighting - user operated natural ventilation - retractable / adjustable solar shading CONTAINED SPACES 8'-0" demountable solid & glass partitions ENCLOSED SPACES 8'-0" demountable solid & glass partitions, with glass transoms to ceiling raised access oor - air supply and services CORE elevators, services, & storage OPEN WORK STATIONS 50" tall panels 12 HigH Performing Buildings fa l l 2 0 1 1 © KPmB Architects
