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. During this period, he cofounded Ecotactiques, an independent sustainable building consultation firm, and worked collaboratively with numerous architects.

Among Lafrance’s achievements are a dozen LEED certified projects, which he coordinated, such as the LEED Gold-CFER des Chênes building in Drummondville.

He also led the LEED coordination for the ETS’ student residence (phase 4).
