Project
This plant oversees meat processing and storage for Métro Richelieu. While complying with HACCP international food-processing standards, this energy-efficiency project helped optimize most of the electromechanical equipment such as the refrigeration system, the heat recovery system in order to provide fresh air and domestic hot water, as well as the lighting throughout the building.
