This 17,500 m2 long term care facility located in Fort McMurray provides long-term care and supportive living for up to 144 patients. As the lead energy consultants on the project, Revolve helped design a first of its kind mechanical system in Alberta that features heat recovery chillers, dual-core heat recovery and a 128 borehole geothermal system. The system utilized the high code mandated air change rates to its advantage by creating an artificial cooling load and using the waste heat to handle all of the building's heating demands; the geothermal system serves as a "storage" system for the waste heat. This eliminated the need for traditional boilers and cooling towers, and allowed the system to be fully electric; eliminating the use of fossil fuels on site (except for emergency backup). Along with a high performance envelope, the innovative mechanical system helped the building achieve energy reductions of 55% below the NECB 2011 energy code. Revolve Engineering provided energy consulting, energy modelling for NECB and LEED compliance as well as the geothermal system design.
