— Burnaby
The Eunice Oh Residence is a 3-storey wood-framed residential building, with 25 units. Located in Burnaby, this housing project is a collaborative effort between the federal and provincial governments, the City of Burnaby, and the New Vista Society, a non-profit organization that provides affordable housing with support services. This building offers air-conditioned studio–3-bedroom apartments and is conveniently located a short walk to Deer Lake Park, multiple shopping and dining options, and SkyTrain stations.
BCBS was an integral part of the team during the new construction of this development. Our expertise contributed to the successful completion of this exciting project through building envelope consulting services. This approach first included establishing the basis of design for the building envelope. During the construction phase, we performed ongoing field reviews and provided field testing of key envelope components as the testing agency. Envelope field testing included the necessary quality assurance field tests to ensure optimal functionality such as testing a sampling of windows and doors as well as conducting whole building airtightness testing to ensure compliance with energy efficiency targets.
