8 Million Dollar Barn At Rideau Hall
As mentioned, the $8 million project will have two levels, a partial vehicle garage, and heated storage on the grounds of Rideau Hall near the stables on the Governor General’s estate. Reportedly, the final design of the project was issued in June 2019 while the construction work began between July 2020 and 2021. It will be the first zero-carbon building built by the National Capital Commission. NCC has certified the Barn project as the first Zero-Carbon building.
The federal director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Franco Terrazzano said that NCC may buy 139 Winding Way including a palatial home located on Rideau River’s banks and it will be labeled as Ottawa’s most opulent home. Terrazzano further added, “I don’t know much about farming, but I’m pretty sure my buddies in Brooks (Alta.) can build a barn for a lot less than eight million bucks,” Alberta-born federal director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation further added, “It seems like the NCC goes out of its way to spend as much money as possible.” Shift to the next section and read more details.
As the reports reached our desks, the National Capital Commission decided to build the zero-carbon building as part of NCC’s target to reduce its carbon footprint. NCC stated, “The zero-carbon building design not only surpasses building code standards, but the fact that the standard requires the building to have on-site energy generation will also lower our energy demands,” The zero-carbon building will also have 70 roof-mounted solar panels to generate energy to reduce the electrical needs of Stornoway. Stornoway and Rideau Hall are two of Canada’s six official residences maintained by the National Capital Commission. Stay tuned to this website.
