New Net-Zero Waste Management Centre Constructed in Ontario’s Oxford County

Published in Daily Commercial News: The new Waste Management and Education Centre in Oxford County, Ont. is expected to receive a Zero Net Energy certification from the New Buildings Institute (NBI). The building, which was constructed on a landfill site in Salford, Ont., was designed to meet the requirements of the NBI’s Zero Net Energy criteria. Zero energy buildings are ultra-low energy facilities that consume only as much power as is generated onsite through renewable energy resources over the course of a year, indicates a release issued by Gateman-Milloy. It is anticipated the building and the landfill itself will become a net-zero electricity consumer.
