OBEC Award of Distinction - Materials

“OBEC Award of Distinction - Materials” identifies an individual or a company that has introduced a product or building system that has substantially

improved the design, construction, or performance of the building envelope.

Award of Distinction - Materialspresented to

DuPont ™Tyvek®

DuPont has introduced many innovative products to the construction industry, including Corian® and SentryGlas®

but the product most familiar to builders is Tyvek®. Invented in the 1950’s Tyvek® is the DuPont brand for a familyof strong, flash-spun, non-woven materials made of high-density olefin fibre. By varying the production process, different properties and characteristics can be engineered into the material. In 1965 DuPont introduced a type ofTyvek® that could be used as a membrane to replace building paper and invented a new word for it: ‘housewrap’.In the process, a new category of building products emerged and changed the way homes are built. The producthas evolved over the years but today’s Tyvek® HomeWrap® serves the same function – as a barrier to air and water that remains “breathable” so that water vapour can pass through it and out of the wall cavity, saving energyand maintaining the health of the building envelope.



OBEC Award of Distinction - Design

“OBEC Award of Distinction - Design” recognizes a project team that has achieved excellence for either a new or retrofit design to a significant component of the building envelope.

Award of Distinction - Designpresented to

Loblaw Companies LimitedHeadquarters

Sweeny Sterling Finlayson & Co Architects Inc.The fundamental design goal for the Loblaw Companies headquarters building was the creation of a facility focusedon strengthening a sense of community and supporting human comfort. The solution is a four storey building withlarge open floor plates surrounding a central atrium that contains the common lunch area; the symbolic and realgathering place of the building. Natural daylighting provides energy savings and a more comfortable work environmentachieved through a perfectly aligned solar orientation, floor to ceiling glazing, exterior sunshading for glare controland interior automated light shelves that direct sunlight deep into the building. Operable windows support natural ventilation and provide the opportunity for personal control of the workspace. The result is an advanced office whichis a measurably better environment for its occupants.
