3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Reliable Controls headquarters, 120 Hallowell Road, Victoria, BC V9A 7K2 (open in Google Maps)
Free Event
Presented by Reliable Controls
A guided walk through a LEED Platinum office and the manufacturing floor behind it, run by the people whose building automation gear is doing the work in both. Their own framing is the behind-the-scenes one. Parking is onsite, with overflow at the Admirals Shopping Centre nearby if the lot fills.
Anu's Take
What the listing leaves out is the site's history. It opened in 1999 as an entertainment centre called Playzone, the controls company moved in five years later, and the LEED Platinum certification only landed in 2013. Worth the afternoon if you want to see what a building looks like when the people who automate buildings for a living have to work in one.
