HVAC Design
Our HVAC solutions employ advanced technologies to optimize thermal comfort while minimizing energy consumption. We design systems for commercial, healthcare, and residential buildings that meet ASHRAE standards and local code requirements. By integrating heat recovery ventilation and smart controls, we create environments that balance occupant comfort with operational efficiency across diverse project types.
Energy Modeling
We provide detailed energy modeling for Part 3 and Part 9 buildings to ensure compliance with BC Energy Step Code and LEED standards. Our team creates accurate simulations that guide design decisions, identify efficiency opportunities, and qualify for energy incentives. This service supports sustainable building practices while maintaining budgetary constraints through data-driven optimization strategies.
Fire Suppression
Our fire protection engineering covers comprehensive system design for residential to industrial facilities. We collaborate with stakeholders to develop code-compliant solutions that prioritize occupant safety while considering operational needs. From sprinkler systems to specialized suppression methods, our designs integrate seamlessly with building infrastructure while meeting all regulatory requirements.
Building Commissioning
As certified commissioning authorities, we verify building systems performance from design through occupancy. Our process ensures mechanical, electrical, and control systems operate as intended while meeting energy efficiency targets. This service includes LEED certification support and retro-commissioning for existing facilities to enhance system longevity and occupant comfort.
Plumbing Systems
