The buildings that we live, play, and work in are responsible for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions through their construction, renovations and operation. Approximately half of these emissions are directly related to heating and cooling. For better energy performance, the entire building envelope's thermal efficiency and air barrier effectiveness need to be improved.
Energy
We can measure and help optimize your building’s energy efficiency, from ultra-high-efficiency wall and roof design to air barrier continuity testing, thermal analysis, and performance modeling. Our CHBA Certified Energy Advisors provide assessment, modelling and verification of both systems and whole-building energy performance.
We also specialize in and can take professional responsibility for cladding systems attachment.
Sustainability
Sustainable construction takes forethought and planning. We work closely with our clients to help set project sustainability goals. Once these are defined, we undertake the design and carefully select sustainable materials and appropriate construction methods that will result in a highly efficient building envelope.
BuiltGreen™ and LEED ® Support
Our BuiltGreen™ certified and LEED® accredited professionals can coordinate and prepare necessary documentation for projects targeting these certifications.
