of budget, quality and period of execution.
With a strong data center construction ex-
perience, general contractors, specialized
contractors, and electrical contractors can
ensure that potential problems are identi-
fied upstream the construction phases,
which eliminates construction delays.
Over the years, LGT has carried out many
projects based on this approach and this
has contributed to the stellar reputation of
the firm.
REDUCED ENERGY
CONSUMPTION
Of great pride to LGT is undoubtedly the
head office of ‘’La Capitale MFQ’’ located
in Quebec City. This great project is a per-
fect demonstration of the added value LGT
can bring in an office construction project
combinedwith a data center. Designed and
built in fast track mode, this Class A office
building has more than 330,000 square
feet of ergonomic office space, and a 500
kWdata center room. Actively participating
in the integrated design groups, LGT has
optimized the concept of heat rejection so
the data center can fully meet the heating
requirements of the entire building during
the winter season. The power usage effec-
tiveness (PUE) metric is the most popular
method of calculating energy efficiency in
a data center.
