The Edge Office Building / Dub Architects

由专筑网小R编译

来自建筑事务所的描述：Edge是一座10层的办公大楼，建造在一块15米宽的空地中，这里有着加拿大最大的太阳能墙体，其中的560块光伏板能够满足建筑80%的供电需求，这座建筑与城市电网连接在一起，天气晴朗的时候，多余的电力能够得以送回。建筑师应用了三层与四层隔热玻璃系统，舒适的北侧阳光照射在开敞的楼板中，北面的窗户并不需要百叶，在夏天，这座建筑几乎不需要人工照明，建筑的末端设置有大型隔离阳台和太阳能面板，能够很好地控制日光。

Text description provided by the architects. The Edge, a 10 storey office building, built on a single 15m wide lot, features one of Canada’s largest solar walls. Its 560 photovoltaic panels provide 80% of the building’s electrical requirements. The building is connected to the city’s power grid, returning excess power on sunny days. The design incorporates both insulated triple-glazed and quadruple-glazed systems. The open floor plates are naturally lit by comfortable north daylight. The north windows require no blinds and the building requires little artificial light during the summer months. The ends of the building feature large thermally-separated balconies and solar screens to control sunlight.

这座建筑包含有贯穿七层的私人教育设施，上部两层为私人办公空间，地面层结合着街道部分，使用者能够通过旁边的公寓进入18个地下停车空间，这样在地面就不需要设置影响形象的出入口了。

The development contains private educational facilities throughout seven floors and private office space on the top two levels. The ground floor engages the street with changing pop-up uses in the open lobby. Eighteen underground parking spaces are accessed through the condominium apartment parkade next door, eliminating the need for a disruptive ramp at ground level.

太阳能墙体有着可持续优势，这也是类似的填充原型，南侧的相邻建筑是一座近期重新设计的仓库，设计方也为Dub Architects事务所，在大约50年之内都不会再进行开发，但是，太阳能墙体的使用期限大约为5至8年，这也让原型在类似的区域得以使用，太阳能墙体每年能够减少大约26吨二氧化碳的排放。

The solar wall provides sustainable benefits and is a prototype for similar infill conditions. Here, the adjacent building to the south is a recently repurposed warehouse (also by Dub Architects) with no anticipated redevelopment for 50 years. However, the solar wall has a payback period of only 5-8 years, making the prototype highly feasible in comparable locations. The solar wall will save 26 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere annually.

灵活的内部楼板能够容纳10个封闭式办公空间，这些区域沿着北侧墙体而排布，极简的室内空间减少了建筑成本，热泵和照明设备沿着内部而布置，这样让裸露的混凝土天花板看起来更加纯粹，管道沿梁排布，而其他管道则位于浇筑的混凝土楼板内部。

The flexible interior floor plate accommodates open planning or up to 10 enclosed offices along the north wall. Minimalist interiors kept construction costs very low. Heat pumps and lighting serviced from the dropped ceiling along the core allow for an unobstructed exposed concrete ceiling, convenient for demising. Air ducts are supplied along the beams and electrical floor outlets are served by ducts within the poured concrete floor.
