The Manitoba Hydro Service Centre in Ashern, Manitoba was designed and constructed as a highly sustainable building modelled after the design principles of the Manitoba Hydro Place in Winnipeg, on a smaller scale of course for a rural Community. The desire was to demonstrate that highly sustainable design principles can be implemented effectively and efficiently with the intent to raise the bar in the rural Manitoba for others to emulate. It achieved an energy performance level of 62% better than the Model National Energy Code for Buildings (1997). For comparison, the LEED Platinum Manitoba Hydro Place achieved 65% better than the 1997 Model National Energy Code Buildings.
