AGF is currently working on an innovative green project: the STM’s new hybrid bus garage on Bellechasse Street in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Depending on the work being done, between 15 and 30 of our employees are involved.<\/p>\n

There are a number of things that make this project special:<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

– First, two AGF divisions—Longueuil and Calgary—are working in tandem on this project.<\/p>\n

– Second, it is more complex than usual, because of its “hybrid” nature. It involves not only reinforcing steel but also structural steel.<\/p>\n

– Lastly, we’re proud that it’s a LEED project.<\/p>\n

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a set of building standards that applies to new and renovated buildings. It focuses on the rational and efficient use of energy, materials and water. Compliance with these standards leads to LEED certification.<\/p>\n

In concrete terms, what does this mean?<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n
