| Sumario: | This article deals with the plans of four Canadian universities to build a living laboratory called the Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability or CIRS. They plan a building that will require few resources from off-site to operate and will create little waste. The CIRS building will be composed of two three-story office blocks connected by a central atrium that features internal light scoops and solar reflectors. It will have many operable windows, but will not be completely naturally ventilated. |
