The Mosaic Centre was the first in Alberta to use the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model and as a result, the building was completed ahead of schedule and below budget. Not only that, but this process enabled this leading–edge sustainable project to be built at market rate with zero change orders.
Located in Alberta amidst a challenging cold climate to achieve net zero energy (NZE), at time of opening, the priMED Mosaic Centre drew 100% of its power from solar photovoltaic panels. A geoexchange system, energy heat recovery, and envelope design reduced consumption of energy by over 60% compared to comparable buildings. Red List screen materials, low emitting local materials, large atrium windows, and a 250 SF green wall all contribute to a healthy indoor environment. The curated tenants synergistically energize the building; the restaurant grows food on the site and the daycare teaches the children where food comes from with the restaurant.
EcoAmmo’s team identified synergistic opportunities between the ambitious design required for LBC petals, LEED Platinum certification, and NZE to deliver a high-performance building that sets an example for sustainable design in Western Canada and beyond.
