Lafarge showcases energy-efficient precast concrete home
October 5, 2011Lafarge North America kicked off an innovative NetZero energy home (duplex) project on National Precast Day by giving a private media tour at the Lafarge Precast Concrete Plant in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The project is in partnership with Stantec and will showcase their support of Habitat for Humanity. The duplex’s innovative and integrative design, coupled with sustainable materials, will help create the ultimate energy-efficient precast concrete home, Lafarge said. Construction on the new duplex will begin this fall.
“National Precast Day is an opportunity for Lafarge to educate hundreds of engineers, architects and students about sustainable construction and is the ideal occasion to feature a NetZero energy home,” said Rene Thibault, Western Canada Aggregates and Concrete regional president of Lafarge North America.
