ENERGY SERVICES
We are moving toward technological solutions for timeless problems. Our goal is to help Canadians to lower energy costs through initial design or simple modification for an energy-efficient home.
Building Permit Energy Modelling
NBC 9.36 Energy Modelling for Building Permits
We provide energy modelling and compliance documentation for residential projects requiring NBC 9.36 building permit approval. Using HOT2000, we support both performance path and prescriptive pathway projects, helping builders, designers, and homeowners confirm compliance with the energy code.
Our services include energy modelling, compliance reports, and guidance on assemblies, windows, and mechanical systems to ensure your project is permit-ready.
Air-tightness Testing
Site Inspections & Air-tightness Testing for Building Performance & Diagnostics
We provide site inspections and blower door testing to verify building performance and identify air leakage and other construction issues. These diagnostics help confirm energy code compliance, improve comfort, and support high performance building goals.
Our testing and inspections can identify problem areas early, allowing builders and project teams to address issues before they become costly problems. This service is commonly used for energy code verification, quality assurance during construction, and troubleshooting performance concerns in new or existing homes.
Eco-Home Building:
Passive House / Net Zero Homes
For high performance residential projects needing some extra help:
Integrated Design Process (IDP) is a collaborative approach to building design, construction, and operation. High performance buildings require teamwork. IDP encourages innovative thinking and helps builders and renovators identify optimized solutions that address current and future energy codes, labelling programs, and long term performance goals.
Through consultation and optimization, we work with the project team to evaluate building assemblies, mechanical systems, and design strategies early in the process. As the IDP facilitator, we support collaboration between stakeholders to ensure the project is planned efficiently, meets performance targets, and avoids costly changes later.
