Oxford County Waste Management & Education Centre
The Oxford County Waste Management Facility & Education Centre (WMEC) is one of many examples of the County’s initiative towards their 100% renewable energy goal. The Smart Energy Oxford goal aims for the county to meet all their energy demands through producing renewable energy, by the year 2050. WMEC is an example of sustainable construction and building operation. The building has rammed earth walls that contain low embodied carbon while adding a visually aesthetic exterior. It is powered by a solar photovoltaic system that produces more electricity than the building consumes to achieve net-zero energy status.
