International Structural Engineering Firm Fast + Epp Installs View Smart Windows at New Mass-Timber Designed Headquarters in Vancouver
September 09 2021 - 7:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building
technologies, today announced its Smart Windows have been installed
at the new corporate headquarters for Fast + Epp, a world
leader in mass-timber structural engineering and design.
Fast + Epp built their new headquarters with
sustainability and employee health and wellness in mind. The unique
design of the new four-storey building features a hybrid
mass-timber and steel structural system with cross-laminated timber
floor plates, stairwells, and elevator cores. Fast + Epp included
View Smart Windows to improve the building’s energy-efficiency,
maximize usable floor space, and enhance the productivity and
wellbeing of Fast + Epp employees.
View Smart Windows use artificial intelligence
to automatically adjust their tint in response to outdoor
conditions, providing continuous access to natural light and views
of the outdoors while controlling heat and glare. The windows have
been proven to reduce building energy consumption from HVAC and
lighting by as much as 20%, while delivering significant health and
wellness benefits to building occupants. A recent study found that
people working behind View Smart Windows slept an average of 37
minutes longer per night, experienced half as many headaches and
were far more productive than those working behind regular windows
with blinds.
“As an engineering firm, our mission is to
develop structures that preserve sustainability while boosting
occupant wellbeing,” said Paul Fast, Founder and Partner, Fast +
Epp. “We employed the same approach when planning our new
headquarters, and the combination of View Smart Windows with the
building’s mass-timber design foundation creates a state-of-the-art
space for our employees in line with our legacy of delivering
architectural excellence.”
“Human health, sustainability and the built
environment are strongly linked,” said Guthrie Cox, View Inc.’s
President, Canada. “Our technology exists to turn this connection
into a positive one and it’s gratifying to see forward-looking
organizations like Fast + Epp putting their employees and the
planet first by including View Smart Windows in their new office
designs.”
Fast + Epp worked closely in partnership with
design architects F2A, interior designers HCMA, contractor
Companion Construction, and mass timber installers Seagate
Structures for the construction of their new headquarters.
