Project Description
Living Building Challenge™ program is arguably the most advanced green building certification program in the world. 100% of the building rainwater and wastewater are treated on-site and integrated into a comprehensive recycling system to feed the demands. The childcare centre is also a net-zero energy building, where the occupants can have access to daylight and fresh air in all spaces. The products and materials used in the project are all from local and regional sources and contain no toxic or hazardous chemicals.
The building has a modern look, yet its Interior is warm and inviting. It uses cell to floor curtain wall to maximize the use of natural daylight. Sunshades are installed to prevent over exposure.
