大溫的綠色建築愈來愈多。

三月份，列治文第一家環保商業建築落成，加西最大的漁業公司Albion步入全面環保新階段——從裏到外都「綠」了！

把綠化進行到底

這座位於列治文第六路(No.6 Rd.)的廠房，面積為65300平方呎，外型甚為方正。若你從門口經過，大概只會覺得，這棟建築除了比較新，周圍種植很多樹木外也麼什麼特別。但其實，若你有機會從空中鳥瞰，一定會大吃一驚：「好白、好亮啊！」是的，按照承建工程公司Hungerford 負責人Michael Hungerford的說法：「Albion漁場的屋頂，是全大溫最白、最耀眼的。」

列治文，這個充滿多元文化氣息的城市，向來備受華裔移民青睞。而一場2010年冬奧會，也讓它進入了全世界人們的眼簾。很大程度上，要感謝列治文奧林匹克橢圓速滑館（Richmond Olympic Oval），這個在冬奧會中發揮了重要作用的一流比賽場館。

在冬奧結束後的2年間，速滑館周邊有一片區域，也開啟了蛻變之路。它從當初不起眼的工業區，逐漸發展成集自然人文於一體的全新河畔住宅新社區——列治文Oval Village Neighborhood。

In late March, Hungerford hosted the first media preview for its latest commercial build-to-suit building in Richmond. In an industrial area along No. 6 Road, the new, 65,300 square-foot, sustainable, state-of-the art seafood processing, packaging and distribution facility is the first new commercial building to be constructed using Richmond’s new green roof (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) building alternatives.

Most industrial buildings are simple boxes. But this one, for Albion Fisheries, is a world-class, high performance model. It’s got all the bells and whistles, and it sets new standards for sustainability as well as for health and cleanliness.

Business in Vancouver wrote about the new fish processing plant and its environmental and sustainability story. Ming Pao and Sing Tao also came out to tour the new plant and shared with readers that Albion is the first environmentally friendly commercial building in Richmond.

“Most industrial buildings are simple boxes,” Michael Hungerford told BIV. “But this is the world-class, high-performance model. It’s got all the bells and whistles, and it sets new standards for sustainability as well as for health and cleanliness from an operations standpoint.”

Aside from the sophisticated live tanks, drainage and freezer systems required, the building also features advanced environmental standards including a top-of-the-line storm water management system, a TPO roof that reduces the heat island effect, permeable paving and landscaping to provide a canopy over parking areas.

But creating a building from scratch is no easy feat. “There are so many factors to consider,” says Michael Hungerford. “It’s not just about the real estate. To make sure our clients are positioned for successful operations, we need to provide them with efficient and effective commercial development design, create healthy work environments, minimize operating costs, and build for long-term quality.”

The other factor, he says, is having the right team. There are thousands of decisions to make, and Hungerford clients aren’t used to designing buildings. They know what they want in the end, but getting there is a collaborative process. With 30 years of experience in the real estate market, Hungerford prides itself on knowing how to make this to happen with minimal risk.

“Our standards are embodied in the new Albion seafood plant,” said Michael Hungerford. “I’m really proud of it.”

列治文首幢環保商業大樓，採用環保屋頂、熱能循環等多項先進科技。公司表示環保技術不僅減少能耗，並能使得海鮮產品更新鮮，期待未來5年增加一倍銷售量。

經過約一年的建造，位於列市6號路（No.6 Rd.）1700號的阿爾比恩海產公司（Albion Fisheries) 大樓，佔地65,300平方呎，於年初投入營運。據該幢大樓的建築商亨格福德物業（Hungerford Properties）代表亨格福特（Michael Hungerford）介紹，新樓是首幢按照列治文綠色屋頂替代計劃建造的建築，先進的環保屋頂以散熱為主，尤其有利海鮮處理所需的低溫環境。貨倉裏則利用廢熱循環技術，節能減排。

A fish processing plant in Richmond that is the first to be built under the city’s green roof design guidelines has begun operations, the company announced this week.

Designed and built by Hungerford Properties, Albion Fisheries’ new 65,300-square-foot plant on No. 6 Road includes a storm-water management system, permeable paving and landscaping designed with trees that provide a canopy over vehicle parking areas.

It also features a Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roof that reduces the heat island effect, which results in urban areas from buildings retaining heat.
