Modern Niagara receives 2021 CAGBC Zero Carbon Award
Ottawa, ON – Modern Niagara has been named the winner of the 2021 Canadian Green Building Council’s Green Building Excellence – Zero Carbon Award in recognition of work completed at AMPED Sports Lab & Ice Complex in Ottawa, ON.
Working directly with AMPED and other partners, Modern Niagara completed a retrofit of the facility, including energy efficiency measures and carbon reduction methods. Specifically, Modern Niagara’s teams optimized building operation through intelligent building automation systems, coordinating on-site renewable energy, and replacing all fossil fuel consumption on site. Previously, this work was recognized as the first arena in the world to achieve a Zero Carbon Building Performance Standard certification.
“This award is a direct result of our teams caring about the buildings, communities, and cities that they live, learn, work, and play in,” said Brad McAninch, CEO of Modern Niagara Group, Inc. “By finding solutions that work for our environment, at buildings like AMPED, we’re able to ensure that our buildings, and in turn our communities, are here for a sustainable future.”
