IES Lighting Award for Co-operators’ New HQ



 

Co-operators' new Guelph Headquarters building was recently honoured with a 2025 Toronto Section Award from the Illuminating Engineering Society. 

These awards recognize professionalism, ingenuity and originality in lighting design. Congratulations to our Lighting Design and Commercial teams, The Co-operators, and other members of the design team, including HOK, NEO Architecture, and Ecovert.

The lighting design was honoured for its success in enhancing the building's materials, function, and structure. An element of the client’s Net Zero strategy, it also infuses the building with natural daylight, maximizing energy use, and reinforcing the firm’s commitment to sustainability, for example by employing all-LED lighting and intelligent controls.

The all-electric project has been certified a ‘Zero Carbon Building – Design Standard’ by the CaGBC and is pursuing Net Zero Performance. It has also achieved LEED Gold and WELL Platinum certifications, and is targeting BOMA Best certification. 

HH Angus’ scope of work also included mechanical and electrical engineering, and IMIT consulting. To learn more about the project, click on the link below:
