Energy efficient upgrades to Ducks Unlimited Canada's Beaubassin Research Centre will reduce the facility's carbon footprint following an investment of more than $324,000 from the federal government through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings (GICB) program.
Funding will support several upgrades to improve the building's energy efficiency, which include: installing insulation throughout the building; replacing the oil furnace with a new heat pump system; installing energy efficient windows, and adding a ground mounted solar energy system.
This investment will lower the centre's carbon footprint and provide researchers, universities, and members of local Indigenous communities who regularly access the Beaubassin Research Centre with a more sustainable, resilient facility.
