A Structure for the Future
Last summer, Lac-Mégantic launched Hydro Québec’s first electric microgrid as part of the city’s reconstruction efforts. This project was honored with the Grand Laureate Prize in the architecture category at the Grands Prix du Design Int.design and received two platinum certifications in the architecture-ceiling and urban building categories.
The timber structure now serve as a focal point in Lac-Mégantic and provide an explanation of the microgrid pilot project. The roof is adorned with Stace Électrique solar panels.
