The project, which will require more than $5,7M in investment from SOFIAC, excluding subsidies, will enable CNDF to undergo a deep energy transition and achieve a reduction of over 40% in the college’s building-related carbon emissions.
With its seven distinct buildings spread across a campus large enough to hold 35 football fields, CNDF resembles a small American college campus. Designated as a heritage site, it is one of the most beautiful educational settings in Quebec, situated on a cliff between the St. Lawrence River and Lake Saint-Augustin. More than 1,200 students are enrolled in various programs such as civil security, fashion, music, thanatology, early childhood education, as well as building estimation and evaluation. The college is also renowned for its exceptional sports facilities, including the Stade Leclerc (an indoor stadium).
“As a subsidized private college recognized in Quebec, CNDF must be a model of social and environmental responsibility. We wanted to take action to reduce our carbon footprint. Since the campus is located in a natural setting, it seemed essential to us to minimize our environmental impact while enhancing the comfort of our students. This major decarbonization initiative is a strategic step that positions our college as a proactive player in the transition to a more sustainable society. Thanks to SOFIAC, we benefit from long-term support to ensure results for decades to come.”Caroline RoyGeneral Director of Campus Notre-Dame-de-Foy
“The CNDF project is the result of excellent collaborative work, made possible by the significant commitment of CNDF’s management, combined with the support of the SOFIAC team, particularly Catherine Langlois, throughout the project. Our model allows us to deliver a turnkey project: SOFIAC covers the required investment and oversees every phase of the decarbonization project through to its implementation. We are proud to have contributed to this significant investment, which will eliminate over 600 tons of CO2 equivalent emissions, corresponding to saving more than 260,000 liters of gasoline.”Christian BrosseauCEO & President of SOFIAC
This decarbonization project, which will also reduce annual energy consumption by 33%, will be carried out in collaboration with Johnson Control, which won the project bid. Johnson Control will design and implement the project for SOFIAC, benefiting CNDF.
