Services

New Construction

  • Use detailed building energy models to assist your design team with making building design decisions, achieving building sustainability certification, submitting for incentive programs, and complying with local energy codes.

  • Review your building loads to estimate the lifecycle cost-optimal size for your ground loop and predict long-term temperature ground trends to mitigate thermal imbalance risk.

  • Support your project with applying for funding from new construction programs, including the CMHC New Construction Incentive, Toronto Green Standard Development Charge Refunds, Enbridge Savings by Design, and more.

  • Use whole-building airflow models to estimate the impact of air tightness and building pressurization on infiltration, interior air flow, and odour migration.

  • Support your project with the preparation of an energy strategy report for applications in Toronto, Brampton, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Waterloo, and Barrie.

  • Develop thermal comfort models to assess the indoor thermal comfort of your building and make recommendations on how to improve thermal comfort if needed.

Existing Buildings

  • Develop calibrated energy models using ASHRAE 140 compliant software, following the Investor Ready Energy Efficiency (IREE) modelling standard.

  • Complete energy audits that meet the needs of your project, including ASHRAE levels 1, 2, and 3, to reduce site energy costs, meet local requirements, and improve building efficiency.

  • Assess the performance of your ground source heat pump system using on-site or remote methods and recommend measures to improve performance.

  • Review building portfolio information, including building condition assessments, audit reports, and utility data, to establish a benchmark and determine strategies to reduce energy use, cost, and emissions.

  • Carry out a review of your current building, create a calibrated model, and use this information to develop a strategic plan to achieve your retrofit goals.

  • Review building design information and system data to assess potential operational issues, assist with trouble-shooting, and recommend measures to improve performance.

  • Support your project with applying for funding from existing building programs, such as the IESO Existing Building Commissioning Program and more.

Specialized Support

  • Work with your team to identify needs and leverage our analytic techniques, providing you with a bespoke sustainability analysis or tracking tool.

  • Support your organization in developing its own energy standards and metrics, including the review of existing standards and/or development of new standards.

  • Carry out third-party and/or due-diligence reviews of energy analysis submitted for your projects to reduce project risk and validate findings before making an investment decision.

  • Provide your team with customized workshops to support growing your in-house sustainability skills and knowledge.
