Limberlost Place is the first mass-timber tall-wood, net-zero emissions building in Ontario. CGI was brought aboard as a design assist partner, working hand-in-hand with the architects and other consultants to shape the building plan, a key component in reaching the project’s energy saving targets.
Limberlost Place will be enclosed with large-format walls to speed the enclosure process, thus protecting the moisture-sensitive timber from the elements. An integrated ribbon window design with high-performance glazing will limit undesirable heat transfer, while operable windows and solar chimneys will allow for natural conduction and ventilation. The large-format wall panels will be connected to traditional curtain wall panels with an innovative, contiguous air and water barrier system.
Students from around Ontario will be welcomed into Limberlost Place in 2024, where it will serve as an educational hub to research sustainable building and develop solutions to climate change.
