They are: Mattamy Homes Limited; Reid\u2019s Heritage Homes; Minto Communities; and Provident Development Inc.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaking on behalf of staff and management, Construction Voyer is thrilled to be participating in the NZE demonstration project,\u201d said co-owner Jean-Francois Voyer. \u201cIt is proving to be a terrific experience which is allowing us to display our expertise in building high quality homes, while always looking for ways to utilize cutting-edge technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Voyer\u2019s ground-breaking took place on Lot 100-101, Boulevard des C\u00e9pages in Duvernay East, close to the Highway 25 bridge.<br \/>\nOfficials from all levels of government attended. They were: Chomedey MNA\u00a0Guy Ouellette; City Councillor Paolo Galati; Construction Voyer co-owners Jean-Francois and Pascal Voyer; Owens Corning Canada technical services manager Salvatore Ciarlo; and Montreal Homebuilders Association executive director, Marc Savard.<\/p>\n<p>The project is a follow-up to a 12-unit project led by Canada Mortgage and Housing (CMHC) in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The homes built under that project ran into some difficulties, including complicated mechanical energy systems that required custom engineering and sometimes became unreliable or difficult to service.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone involved is confident that those challenges have been overcome for the current project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/150622-net-zero-condos-groundbreaking-Laval.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6004\" src=\"https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/150622-net-zero-condos-groundbreaking-Laval-300x242.jpg\" alt=\"150622 net-zero condos groundbreaking Laval\" width=\"300\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/150622-net-zero-condos-groundbreaking-Laval-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/150622-net-zero-condos-groundbreaking-Laval-1024x826.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/150622-net-zero-condos-groundbreaking-Laval-720x581.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracey Arial www.thesuburban.com On Monday, June 22 at 10:45 a.m., Construction Voyer held a ground-breaking ceremony for six net-zero condos that will produce as much energy as they consume.
