Plastic Pipe Institute presents REHAU with Project of the Year Award
Radiant slab heating and cooling system assisted in Ontario High School’s LEED certification.
The Plastics Pipe Institute, a nonprofit trade association dedicated to the advocacy and advancement of use of plastics in pipe infrastructure systems, awarded REHAU its Building & Construction Division’s Project of the Year in early May at the organization’s annual meeting. The award recognizes the company’s role in the École Secondaire Jeunes sans Frontiers (Secondary School for Youth Without Frontiers) project in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The school, which has earned the Canadian Green Building Council’s LEED Silver certification, is the first secondary school building in Ontario to have achieved this status.
Designed by Robertson Simmons Architects, the French-language high school, which encompasses approximately 91,000 sq. ft., is dedicated to fostering an enriched, student-focused learning experience by providing a healthy and sustainably designed environment. To achieve this, the design includes indoor spaces integrated with outdoor landscapes, a green roof, expansive daylighting, water-conserving plumbing fixtures, lighting with occupancy sensors and displacement ventilation.
