Spruce Grove Aerials Gymnastics Club
Design Development Report January 2011
5.3 MECHANICAL
Mechanical systems for this facility will be selected in order to achieve a LEED
silver rating. Air system will be located in the Mechanical Room and be ducted to
displacement air grilles at low levels in all rooms. Air system will use 100% outside air
with heat recovery. Plumbing systems will utilize low consumption fixtures c/w high
efficiency water heater. Building heating system will utilize two medium efficient boilers
and distribution pumps to heating radiant panels in the various spaces. Controls will be
direct digital type.
5.4 ELECTRICAL
The electrical service and distribution for this building will include a utility fed
transformer supplying a 120/208 volt, 3 phase, 4 wire secondary power service to a main
distribution centre located in the Electrical Room. Branch circuit panelboards will be
used to feed downstream devices such as mechanical loads, fluorescent lighting and
duplex receptacles. A motor control center fed via the main distribution panel will be
used to supply power to required mechanical loads. Duplex receptacles will be provided
throughout the building for convenience, and as required by the identified building
equipment. Lighting will be fluorescent throughout including high bay T5 fluorescent
fixtures in the main gymnasium with T8 fluorescent fixtures throughout the remaining
support spaces. Lighting controls will include microphonic/IR occupancy sensors in the
main gymnasium and washroom/change room areas and occupancy sensors in the office
and common areas. The gymnasium will have three level lighting and the remaining
office, change room and common areas will be two level lighting. The main gymnasium
will also have daylight sensors incorporated to account for additional daylight through
the proposed windows. Emergency and exit lighting will be supplied in accordance with
the requirements of the Alberta Building Standards, with the use of battery power as
backup.
Telephone service and distribution will include a utility feed to the main Telephone/
Data backboard in the Electrical Room, from which point an empty conduit system will
be provided throughout the building to serve outlets in office areas and other areas as
required. The fire alarm and smoke detection system will be a class A system with battery
backup and will include a main panel at the front entrance with initiating and signaling
devices as required based on the code. The building and gymnasium sound systems
will be provided for as directed by the City of Spruce Grove. Electrical systems will be
designed in this building in order to achieve a LEED Silver rating.
