	Manitoba Hydro Place (MHP) is the head office of Manitoba Hydro, the electric power and natural gas utility in Manitoba, Canada. Located in Winnipeg and officially opened in September 2009, it was the first LEED Platinum office tower in Canada and among the most efficient office towers in North America. By using an integrated design process, building energy use was minimized for Manitoba’s climate. Consuming 88 kWh/m2, Manitoba Hydro Place uses 60% less energy than the Model National Energy Code for Buildings and 73% less energy than the standard office tower in Winnipeg. MHP houses two thousand employees on 21 floors. Unique attributes of this building include North America’s largest solar chimney providing 100% fresh air at all times, Manitoba’s largest geothermal heating and cooling system, and the world’s first “reversed” double façade optimized for a cold climate.

	Manitoba Hydro Place draws in air from the southern face of our building into the south wintergardens. During the summer and shoulder seasons automated vents in the wintergarden bring fresh air in passively. During the winter, air drawn in mechanically and preconditioned. The wintergardens function as “lungs of the building”, with passive solar heating of the supply air. It is then distributed through the raised floor distribution system. The solar chimney, located at the northern end of the building, uses a natural stack effect to create a pressure difference in the building, pulling all air towards itself. During the summer and shoulder seasons the chimney will be opened and air will be exhausted naturally. During the winter the chimney will be closed and the exhaust air will be drawn into the parkade for heating purposes. The exhaust air will also be used as heating for conditioning the air drawn in by the fan coils.

	It is important to note that MHP was not designed and built with the primary goal of energy efficiency, even though this has been much talked about. First and foremost, the goal of the project was to provide a high quality of interior space for the staff of Manitoba Hydro. It was important to the design team to prove that a high quality space can be energy efficient and sustainable.
