Red Deer College breaks ground for alternative energy lab
Dignitaries and guests were privy to the official ground breaking Wednesday morning for the newest facility on campus at Red Deer College, an alternative energy lab.
Brian Lacey, senior vice president, energy and resources for Clark Builders said while the construction starts today, people won’t see much of the innovative technologies like the roof top solar arrays.
“The visionary part of the project is the learning lab. [It] will be a space so that people can play with alternative energies to figure out how the arrays work in different conditions whether it be through the seasons or cloud cover,” said Lacey.
Lacey said they really had to think outside the box to find a solution that fit the budget given for the alternative energy lab.
