This four-storey condominium project is constructed of the Kiwi Precast Building System, which uses solid precast concrete walls, roof and floors. The exterior walls consists of precast concrete, with a continuous insulation layer on the outside of the precast walls. Keeping the building thermally broken from the outside allows the interior structural concrete mass to provide thermal resilience to help level the peaks and valleys of temperatures during the day.
In addition, the project uses photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the building and parking structure, thermal solar panels for DHW (Domestic Hot Water) requirements, in-floor heating and cooling with geothermal ground loops taking advantage of the site’s ground water and natural surroundings.
This project is jointly brought to the fore by Developer Terra View Homes and Design Builder and Manufacturer Newton Group Ltd.
The NiMa Trails condominium project is planned to be 1 of 15 projects in the CaGBC (Canadian Green Building Council) pilot program. The project is one of the only residential projects in the pilot program which will be a great case study for the CaGBC as the energy targets the project is aiming for are very high. The Zero Carbon Building Standard will take into account things like the life cycle of a building, what the building is made out of, the carbon emissions that result from manufacturing those materials, renewable energy produced on-site, as well as renewable energy procured offsite
The NiMA Trails project includes:
