Cost Energy Effectiveness : An integrated approach toward this project with our in house design team and quality control division ensured modular building methods were implemented to the highest levels of quality and functionality. To meet our client’s requirements for cost efficiency, the building envelope materials utilized were designed for low maintenance and longterm durability. Maximum R values were achieved in the roof, wall and floor systems. Low-flow plumbing fixtures, energy-efficient lighting and high-efficiency external HVAC units contribute to the cost savings approach for this custom building facility.

Technical Innovation : The project requirement was to produce a building of a unique design that needed to blend with the surrounding environment and be environmentally and cost sensitive. The client’s needs were to create two office areas with a common entry/reception space and an exterior court area that can be protected from the wind. Horizon North designers created an "H" shaped building that accommodated those needs, incorporating durable materials, enhancing the exterior appearance, independent heating and air conditioning system and complemented with a three way trussed roof system. Another characteristic was that the building can be easily expanded with additional modules to create extra office space.
