架构师提供的文本描述。STGM的新总部位于魁北克市博波特区，毗邻Estimauville生态社区。这是一个1000平方米的两层结构，把重点放在环保，建筑创新。这座建筑成功地将纵向形态、朝向太阳、轻巧的木材结构、精心挑选的材料和高效的系统结合在一起，为居住者提供了非凡的舒适，同时产生了低生态足迹。

Text description provided by the architects. STGM’s new head office is located in the Beauport borough of Quebec City, adjacent to the Estimauville eco-neighbourhood. It is a 1,000 square metre two-storied structure that puts the focus on eco-friendly, architectural innovation. The building succeeds in offering an exceptional level of comfort to its occupants through the mindful integration of a longitudinal form, orientation to the sun, light wood structure, meticulously selected materials and efficient systems, while producing a low ecological footprint.

高性能混凝土墙面与东方雪松的结合创造了一个既简单又充满活力的印象，注重固体和空隙之间的关系，这给建筑带来了一种优雅的氛围，掩盖了时间和时尚。从最初的草图开始，设计师们就寻求实现高度的可持续性-这一原则已经成为公司优先事项的核心，他们利用创造力来实施达到LEED-NC白金水平所需的战略。考虑到这一目标，选择舒适、简单和连贯作为基本原则。

High performance concrete siding combined with Eastern Cedar creates an impression that is both simple and dynamic, with attention given to the relationship between solids and voidsthat lend the building an air of elegance that belies both time and fashion. From the first sketches, the designers sought to attain a high level of sustainability– a principle already at the heart of the firm’s priorities, using creativity to implement the strategies necessary to reach LEED-NC Platinum level. With this objective in mind, comfort, simplicity and coherence were selected as founding principles.

环境绩效

Environmental performance

STGM的新办公室包括两个大型露天车间、封闭办公室、会议室以及室内和室外会议和休息区。纵向形态是南北发达的，是清醒的，是当代的。该建筑综合创新和一系列生态友好的特点，以获得最高水平的可持续建筑认证。

STGM’s new offices comprise two vast open-area workshops, closed offices, conference rooms, and indoor and outdoor meeting and rest areas. The longitudinal form, developed north-south, is sober and contemporary. The building integrates innovation and a host of eco-friendly features in view of attaining the highest level of sustainable building certification.

为了减少饮用水的消耗，增加了一些功能。通过有效的水管理，减少了污水处理厂的能耗。所采用的策略旨在通过使用诸如低流量水龙头和淋浴头等节水附件以及用雨水冲洗厕所来减少饮用水的消耗。

A number of features were included to reduce the consumption of drinking water. Through efficient water management, the building decreases the energy requirements of wastewater treatment plants. The strategies employed aimed to reduce the consumption of drinking water through the use of such water-saving accessories as low-flow faucets and shower heads, and rainwater to flush the toilets.

与参考建筑相比，通过创新的空气热设计和恢复建筑物内部热量来抑制对配电网络的需求，力求使能耗比参考建筑大幅度降低60%以上。建筑物西南面还竖起了一面太阳能墙，以预热新鲜空气。几种控制策略也通过使照明、供暖和冷却的使用适应实际的职业和需要而减轻了对电源的需求。

An ambitious reduction in energy consumption of over 60% compared with the reference building was sought through an innovative aerothermal design and recuperation of the building’s internal heat to curb demand on the distribution networks. A solar wall was also erected on the south-west façade of the building to preheat fresh air. Several control strategies also mitigated at-source needs by adapting lighting, heating and cooling use to actual occupation and needs.

项目设计者还侧重于材料和资源的使用和管理。例如，这座建筑的生态标志在室内是显而易见的，它使用的是从该地区的老房子中打捞出来的木材。该公司旧办事处的家具被打捞起来并纳入新项目，在整个过程中没有将挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)和区域来源(当地采购)作为优先事项。

The project designers also focused on the use and management of materials and resources. Tthe building’s ecological signature, for example, is apparent indoors with the use of wood salvaged from old houses in the area. Furniture from the company’s old offices was salvaged and integrated into the new project, without volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and regional provenance (local sourcing) were prioritized throughout the process.

挑战和解决办法

Challenges and solutions

早在最初的草图，网站本身的特点决定了一个极简的方法结构概念。由于地基承载力有限，结构重量最小，因此轻质延性木框架具有较低的生态足迹，是最好的解决方案。该结构由预制的小型桁架和龙骨组成，其中工程木料的比例较小，木材的大部分由预制的小型桁架和托梁组成，使结构更加轻巧，同时使柱子之间的跨度更宽(14米)，从而形成一个开放的工作区。木屋顶桁架作为一个设计元素，暴露在一层，使建筑物的独特的外观。

As early as the first sketches, the characteristics of the site itself dictated a minimalist approach to the structural concept. The limited bearing capacity of the ground required minimal structural weight, and so the lightweight ductile wood frame, with a low ecological footprint, proved to be the best solution. With a small percentage of engineered wood and a large portion of lumber, the structure consists of prefabricated small-sized trusses and joists enabling a lighter structure while allowing for wide spans (14 metres) between the posts to create an open work area. The wood roof trusses were integrated as a design element, exposed on the first storey, giving the building its distinctive look.

对用户的积极影响

Positive impacts for users

大楼的位置对用户有好处。密集地段位于市中心核心郊区，靠近繁忙的高速公路，有公共交通和各种服务。两个停车场是为拼车者预留的，还有一个电动汽车充电站供员工使用。南面露台作为一个非常受赞赏的休憩区与景观，维护，免费和可食用的植物。大多数植物是坚硬和可食用的，如覆盆子，百合花和服务浆果，不需要灌溉，使居住者和客户使用他们的环境的户外区域。

The building’s location has its benefits for users. The dense sector is located on the outskirts of the downtown core, near a busy highway, with public transportation and a variety of services. Two parking lots are reserved for carpoolers and a charging station for electric cars is at the disposal of employees. The south facing terrace serves as a much appreciated rest area with landscaping featuring maintenance free and eatable plantings. Most of the plants are hardy and eatable, such as raspberry, lilies and serviceberry, don’t require irrigation and enable occupants as well as clients to use the outdoor areas of their environment.

这座建筑提供了一个刺激的工作环境。自然采光和室外景观是特别受到赞赏的元素。由于建筑物四面都有充足的窗户，大部分地区都有天然的照明设施，以优化白天不同的照明机会。五口光井增加了中午的照明，这是既吸引和变化，取决于时间的一天。LED灯具，在两个大工作区配备了光探测器，完成了室内照明的需要。

The building offers a stimulating work environment. Natural lighting and outdoor views are elements that are particularly appreciated. Most areas have natural lighting due to abundant windows on the four sides of the building, situated to optimize the different lighting opportunities during the day. Five light wells add midday lighting that is both appealing and varied depending on the time of day. LED fixtures, equipped with light detectors in the two large work areas, complete the indoor lighting needs,.

为了配合舒适和简单的前提，关键目标是提供新鲜空气和控制直接的环境。一系列窗户通风口被战略性地放置在建筑围护结构周围。此外，机械系统的设计是为了同时有效地冷却和加热建筑物的不同区域。

Key objectives, in keeping with the premises of comfort and simplicity, were to provide fresh air and to control the immediate environment. A series of windows vents are strategically positioned around the building envelope. In addition, the mechanical systems are designed to efficiently cool and heat the different zones of the building at the same time.
