PORTFOLIO
Jean Canfield Government of Canada Building
The Jean Canfield building is one of the most environmentally friendly buildings ever constructed by Public Works and Government Services Canada. This four story building has a gross floor area of 17,500 square meters and has a capacity for 500 employees. It incorporates new environmental design features and technologies, but still reflects the character and historic architecture in downtown Charlottetown.
Highlights
- The building is registered with the Canadian Green Building Council LEED Gold as the target.
- Daylight harvesting allows for more use of natural light, and occupancy sensors activate lighting only when it is needed.
- The building is equipped with a Photovoltaic Array, which will generate 130,000 watts of electrical power from solar energy. This has the equivalent energy reduction of 80 cars per year.
Hansen Electric was awarded the electrical installation for the project which was included but not limited to: lutron eco lighting system (first of it's kind in North America), complete under floor power and communications system, fire alarm and security systems.
Project Completion: April 2008

Cavendish Farms Bio Gas Plant
This facility is an example of Cavendish Farms' corporate approach to researching, investing, and implementing innovative new ways that can create sustainable and environmentally friendly processing methodologies. This is the first facility in the potato industry to take solid potato waste and convert it into usable energy. The Cavendish Farms Bio Gas facility not only treats waste water, it also takes solid waste material from potato processing and, through anaerobic digestion (a process similar to composting), converts it into energy for the processing plants.
