TD Financing Services

12 Concorde Place, Toronto, Ontario

MEI has provided mechanical design services for this 100,000 sq.ft. interior alteration/fit‐up project at the specified location for which LEED Silver accreditation was achieved.

• This project consisted of the complete demolition of existing interior spaces and mechanical systems located on the 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th floors.
• A complete redesign of the mechanical systems was provided including
  • new heat pump air handling equipment
  • all associated HVAC piping, plumbing system modifications
  • a complete redesign of sprinkler system layout to suit the new interior layout
• This project also included design and engineering of a precision cooling system for a new Data/IT centre.

Vaughan Fire Hall No. 7‐10

10800 Dufferin St., Vaughan, Ontario

This state-of-the-art facility has been designed for LEED Silver accreditation. The HVAC system of this building consists of highly efficient split‐type units with advanced controls to ensure system efficiency.

• The fresh air delivery to this building is by way of heat recovery ventilators that take what would be wasted energy from washroom exhaust air and transfers it to the incoming fresh outdoor air.
• All plumbing fixtures are of low‐flow type and significantly surpass the efficiencies of the LEED baseline case.
• Domestic hot water is provided through highly efficient on‐demand gas‐fired heaters that eliminate wasted energy typical of conventional hot water storage systems.

Wayne Gretzky Estates Winery and Distillery

1219 Niagara Stone Rd., Niagara‐on‐the‐Lake, ON

This facility is the first of its kind in the region to feature both wine and distilling production and tasting rooms.

• This facility includes a winery, a craft distillery, tasting area, retail and hospitality spaces, fermentation facilities, offices and storage areas as well as high quality landscaping.
• The HVAC system consists of ten high efficiency furnaces w/ split air condition and coupled with energy recovery ventilation units.
• A wine barrel storage room in the basement of the winery facility included refrigerated cooling to keep the room at 14°C and the capability to increase to 18°C during special dinner events.
• The new facility built on the existing Andrew Peller Estates required pumping of process and sanitary waste water to an existing treatment facility.

Delaney Arena Improvements

Pickering Recreation Complex – 1867 Valley Farm Rd., Pickering, ON.

The Delaney Rink, built in 1983, is the principal of two rinks located at the Pickering Recreation Complex and hosts a wide variety of programs both with the ice in and when the ice is removed for the summer. At the time of our involvement, the layout and physical condition of the facilities were aging and failing to meet the user needs. MEI was involved with the following undertakings as part of an overall project to bring the rink and associated facilities up to user expectations.

• Complete replacement of existing refrigerated rink slab and associated piping.
• Renovation of public washrooms to meet current OBC accessibility standards.
• Renovation of dressing room to meet current barrier-free requirements.

The Salvation Army

77 Admiral Rd., Toronto, Ontario

MEI provided complete mechanical engineering services for this 11,500 square foot, three-storey rehabilitation centre. This total renovation project successfully received LEED Silver accreditation. Some of the key elements of this renovation included a new commercial grade kitchen, 42 seat resident dining area, two multi-purpose gathering spaces, several lounges and offices.

As part of a project-wide approach to energy savings MEI implemented energy efficient mechanical systems and designs.

• Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heating/cooling technology
• High-efficiency gas boilers for space heating
• High-efficiency gas domestic water heating systems
• Energy recovery ventilation
