Energy Retrofit & Building Upgrade Services

Our engineering services deliver high impact asset renewal, operational improvements and environmentally sound solutions.

We specialize in solutions for the commercial, institutional, multi-residential and industrial facilities markets. Our focus is on all areas related to building mechanical/electrical systems including energy-efficient lighting, central plant, building automation, variable speed drive applications, free-cooling systems, energy recovery systems as well as power monitoring and load shedding.

Our offerings allow you to select what you need most, including auditing, feasibility studies, consulting, project management and/or integration, installation and more. And of course, we provide excellent after-sales service and support.

Depending on your preferences, we can work with you to implement a financial model that allows for significant infrastructure improvement of the facility using only existing operating budgets to fund the initiatives. We invite you to talk to us about your finances.

Energy Audit - Building Report Card

An energy audit is the essential first step in developing energy projects. The goal is to identify and quantify energy conservation opportunities, and check the economic feasibility of each measure—meaning your return on investment (ROI). Your report card is constructed from both billing analysis and site visits. Areas typically covered include: architectural, mechanical, electrical, control, lighting, parking, water, and security systems of a building. The main objectives of the building report card are to summarize building information and identify potential building upgrade opportunities. The building report card is usually a companion or supplemental product to the Building Energy Performance Index (BEPI).

For a Single Facility:

The building report card is used to gather preliminary information and highlight equipment or systems that appear to be energy-intensive. Other potential energy-efficiency measures can be investigated through operational and renovation questions, which the building report card aims to answer. These questions include:

• Do any systems appear to use excessive amounts of energy?
• Do any systems require high maintenance and need replacement?
• Were there recent upgrades of major equipment?

For Multiple Facilities:

A database can be created that can be sorted according to an outlined building parameter. This enables the grouping of facilities based on size, location, equipment, or whatever parameter you require. For example, via the database you can identify which buildings:

• Have interruptible fuel supply?
• Have performed a lighting audit recently?
• Have a building automation system?

These are just highlights of the important information that a Building Report Card can contribute to energy and cost saving opportunities as the first step to a comprehensive solution.
