Sustainable Building Performance
Comprehensive expertise for high-performance sustainable buildings
Our team of energy efficiency specialists supports your projects from design through operation. Using an integrated approach and advanced modeling tools, we develop realistic and innovative solutions to reduce your operating costs, improve occupant comfort, and contribute to carbon neutrality.
Audit and Analysis
Before taking any action, it is essential to fully understand the current condition of your building and its systems. Our audits help identify sources of excessive energy consumption and pinpoint measures with high savings potential.
- Comprehensive assessment of electromechanical systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting).
- Identification of sources of excessive energy consumption and areas for improvement.
Energy Studies and Modeling
Using advanced simulation tools, we analyze various scenarios to optimize the design and performance of your buildings. This step allows us to evaluate the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the proposed solutions.
- Simulations to compare different design scenarios.
- Compliance with the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) – performance-based method.
- Economic analysis and feasibility study to validate the cost-effectiveness of the proposed measures.
Design and Implementation
Once solutions have been identified, we support you in the design and execution of your projects. Our approach ensures the seamless integration of energy-saving measures throughout the entire process.
- Development of plans and specifications tailored to the project’s energy objectives.
- Request for proposals and assistance in selecting contractors.
- Supervision of construction and commissioning to ensure that target performance levels are met.
Energy Management
After commissioning, we continue to provide support to ensure long-term energy efficiency. We help you maintain and optimize the results achieved.
- Continuous optimization of system operations.
- Power and electricity demand management.
- Implementation of energy monitoring tools to sustain savings over time.
