Within our foundation is where our engineer draw upon an approach to design heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting systems. We prioritize comfort (thermal, visual, lighting, acoustic, ergonomic). We seek to improve health through the delivery of superior air and water quality.

Social equity and community health are the foundation on which we approach each project to create a positive social impact.

Resilience

Designing for a post-pandemic world. COVID-19 and increase in wild fires have reminded everyone of the connection between our indoor environment, our planet and our health.

Resilience is more than just climate change mitigation, it includes designing for adaptation, agility and flexibility. Our deep green ethos which our firm is founded on, ensures that resource efficiency, whether its energy, water, or materials are considered upfront in order to support movement toward a more sustainable future.

Our “Now, Next, Future” framework toward post-pandemic design has guided our own practice as well as our clients toward more agile planning around COVID re—entry and future thinking

At Introba, we understand that better physical environments create lower stress levels and less fatigue among staff, increasing care delivery effectiveness and improving patient safety and overall healthcare quality.

Health & Wellness

Our strength in the healthcare sector is based on our ability to explore campus-scale solutions in balance with health and wellness aspects of the built environment. Our early work in design analytics and building optimization provides a baseline for the design and provides our clients with a roadmap for ongoing optimization.

Savings recognized during the operation can then be allocated towards initiatives focusing on the patient’s health experience.

Happiness Satisfaction & Culture are key

We believe that our people are our greatest asset and that they combine passion with purpose. They are diverse, ready, willing and able - united by a shared commitment to projects with a positive impact.

Our annual Corporate Social + Environmental Responsibility (CSER) report documents our journey to becoming a truly sustainable business across five areas:

• Environmental Footprint

Different areas of research are reflected in seven “neighborhoods” of science that span two to three floors and are connected by atrium spaces to encourage cross-collaboration.

The tower also houses new learning and teaching facilities for SickKids™ Learning Institute including a 250seat lecture theatre, flexible learning spaces, and display area. Additionally, the facility includes tele-education area, meeting rooms, two new pathways to connect the Research and Learning Tower to SickKids™ McMaster and Atrium buildings.

Since research laboratories usually expend large amounts of energy, extensive planning was required to reduce energy consumption. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling of lab ventilation systems was performed to demonstrate

viability of displacement and variablerefrigerant flow ventilation systems in labs. By using these innovative ventilation systems, energy efficiency was significantly increased.

As part of the process, our team connected on a regular basis with the occupants to establish required policy & procedures to meet the minimum sustainability, energy & water use reduction requirements outlined by the Hospital.

A high performance envelope was incorporated into the structural design of the facility in order to reduce the overall size of the mechanical cooling & heating systems. This addresses the energy consumption by passive rather than active means. The building is also designed to connect into the local district steam energy system, further enhancing energy efficiency.
