Abstract:
In June 2004, Smith Carter opened the doors to SC3, their innovative and environmentally advanced corporate headquarters. The building uses state-of-the-art control systems that monitor the operating conditions in order to maximize the employee’s productivity and the building’s efficiences. For its success, SC3 has received critical acclaim, winning a Governor General’s Medal for Architecture in 2006 and was the first to achieve LEED© Platinum Certification in Manitoba in May 2009.
In this unique presentation, Howard Procyshyn, and Sarah Chernis, will share insight about the planning, design, construction, and ongoing use of the building. They will introduce the tools used to monitor and control the environment, and finally share lessons learned from the six years since the building has been in operation.
