Hugo Lafrance, LEED AP BD+C and O+M, joins Lemay’s sustainable development team, which has as its mission supporting all project teams in their efforts to design sustainable living environments.

Over the last 10 years, Mr. Lafrance has been fine-tuning his expertise in sustainable solutions for the built environment.
