Heidelberg Materials North America announced that its cement plants in Edmonton, Alberta, and Delta, British Columbia, have earned Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan’s) ENERGY STAR for Industry Certification.
This signifies that the facility performs in the top quartile of similar facilities in Canada and the United States for energy efficiency.
