Energy Solutions
Consultants. Constructors. Pathfinders.
Whether addressing end-of-life equipment today, capital planning for tomorrow, or looking to make measurable impact on building performance over the long run, the right pathway will enable your firm to be successful. Energy Solutions helps single and portfolio facility stakeholders plan, prioritize, and construct building system improvements that cumulatively drive towards defined outcomes.
We can work with what has been done to date, including energy studies, and develop a pathway that considers capital budgets, equipment lifecycles, incentives, financing, and defined key performance indicators. You get clarity on where, when, and why to invest in a building, with the support of a team that has helped decision makers across Canada approve $86.2 million in energy and decarbonization retrofit investments.
We work with partners and industry standards to deliver the best solutions for you:

The Process
Your building system lifecycles are critical to developing a successful pathway, and that’s where our process starts. We work with you to review your current state including emissions, energy consumption, and objectives; we look understand and define your pathway.
Together, we’ll analyze your available data and make recommendations where additional analysis would fill in the gaps to establish a facility baseline. The outcome? A defined pathway to potential energy and decarbonization reductions through specific projects and services.
Funding is often barrier for greenlighting retrofit projects. Our team helps develop actionable business plans that consider relevant incentives, grants, and financing programs that work with your investment requirements. Best of all, we help facilitate application processes to make efficient use of your time.
We are an experienced energy consultant and constructor you can trust to deliver complex retrofit projects. From feasibility, design, and construction management, we are here to ensure you meet goals along your pathway.
The Team
We are here to help at every step of your journey to achieving defined energy efficiency and decarbonization goals. Each team member brings expertise and experience to support your needs.
