Energy Efficient Apartment Building
Graham Construction and Reinbold Engineering deliver an energy efficient apartment building in Calgary.
Encore is a 303-unit, 440-bed rental apartment development located in Calgary’s University District. The project consists of two concrete residential buildings—an eight-storey mid-rise and a sixteen-storey tower—connected by a shared podium and supported by two and a half levels of secure underground parking.
Constructed by Graham, Encore was built to Green Gold standards and designed to exceed the National Energy Code of Canada by more than 25 percent, resulting in significant reductions in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
Reinbold Engineering Group provided integrated mechanical design, construction administration, and advanced energy modelling services, supporting both incentive qualification and third-party certification (Built Green Gold Level).
Performance highlights:
- Up to 28.5% improvement in energy efficiency over NECB 2017
- 26.6% reduction in GHG emissions over NECB 2017
- Achieved Built Green HD – Gold performance requirements
- Achieved CMHC MLI Select program Energy Efficiency Level 2 requirements
