LOCATION DETAILS:
Manitou a bi Bii daziigae (in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe)) is Red River College Polytechnic’s expansion of the Exchange District Campus, and the first RRC Polytech building to receive an Indigenous name. Manitou a bi Bii daziigae was previously known as the Innovation Centre project.
Manitou a bi Bii daziigae is on track to be RRC Polytech’s fourth LEED-certified building, with a goal of 100 energy use intensity and a near net zero efficiency.
Part of Manitou a bi Bii daziigae’s design includes Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) that have been installed along the exterior. Designed by SwissINSO, the coloured panels — called Kromatix — absorb and conduct energy while also protecting the building from the elements. This installation is the first of its kind in Canada, and will reduce energy consumption by an estimated 15 per cent.
Thanks to energy efficient technologies — including Power Over Ethernet lighting, Smart LSI Breakers, Wi-Fi outlets and BIPVs — the renewable energy produced will also power the building.
