D4.2        Sustainable Design
(a)   OurWinnipeg 2045 sets out the City’s climate target of net zero emissions by 2050 which 
aligns with federal and international targets. The Community Energy Investment Roadmap (CEIR) 
identifies City and community-wide systems level actions and investments to achieve this updated 
target. Council directed the Public Service to implement the CEIR in July 2022. In addition, the 
CEIR identifies that after reducing the need for energy and increasing energy efficiency, 
electrification of heating in buildings is key to meeting City of Winnipeg climate targets.
(i)     The City is committed to optimizing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions within 
the Pan Am Pool building. To align with the City’s climate target of achieving net-zero emissions 
by 2050, the consultant must consider any elements within the agreed-upon finalized scope that impact energy consumption and carbon emissions.
If such elements are identified, the consultant shall:
(i)     Design with net zero carbon ready and/or low carbon principles in mind. in order to align 
with the City of Winnipeg’s net zero carbon goals and promote low carbon practices.
(ii)     Facilitate the project's participation in relevant Efficiency Manitoba Business incentive 
programs. Additionally, investigate other potential incentive programs to maximize available 
benefits.
(b)   While recognizing that budget constraints may limit the feasibility of installing a solar 
wall, if some or all of the air handling units are replaced, the City aims to design the 
ventilation ductwork in a way that facilitates the potential future installation of a solar wall or 
solar roof ducts. The consultant should explore "solar ready" principles:
(i)     The high humidity in a pool's exhaust air presents challenges during winter when utilizing 
a heat recovery unit. In these conditions, the moisture in the exhaust air freezes upon contact 
with outside air temperatures, severely compromising the efficiency of the unit or rendering it 
completely ineffective. The building provides a good opportunity for solar energy capture to 
pre-heat the ventilation air. KGS conducted a solar energy report, evaluating two options for solar 
ventilation air heating: a solar wall covering the main pool area's south-facing elevation, and 
solar ducts installed on the roof of the lap pool addition.
(ii)     When installing new HVAC or other rooftop equipment, it is crucial to select locations on 
the roof that do not obstruct or cast shadows on the designated area for future solar 
installations. Please note, the weight of the solar wall cannot be supported from the existing wall 
structure; therefore, a dedicated standalone structural support system would be required. In 
addition, the study noted that the installation of solar ducts on the main pool area roof is not 
feasible due to the additional structural loads that the roof was not designed to handle.
(c)    In the event that building envelope upgrades are incorporated into the project, the 
consultant shall engage a Building Enclosure Commissioning Agent (BECxA) during the development 
phase to provide input into building enclosure systems as they relate to energy, water, indoor 
environmental quality, durability and air tightness throughout the project. The Consultant shall 
recommend a preferred vendor to the City. The City will then contract with the preferred BECxA 
independently from the Consultant. The Consultant will work with the agent as part of the project 
team to incorporate envelope commissioning into the project design and construction.
(d)   In the event that electrical or electrical upgrades are incorporated into the project, the 
consultant shall coordinate design and specification requirements as relating to building 
commissioning and quality assurance/quality control testing (to be undertaken by an independent 
third party(s) contracted by the City).

produce a comprehensive WADS Compliance Document that summarizes all analysis, application, 
limitations & exclusions  introduced by existing conditions (if applicable), and implementation of 
solutions; complete with signed statement of WADS compliance by the professional taking 
responsibility for the work, at the time that final drawings are issued for construction.
