Case studies

Buildings we
have assessed.

More than fifty commercial buildings and forty multi-residential buildings assessed: audits, condition assessments, energy modelling, recommissioning and verification. A quarter of them went on to secure retrofit funding.

Where we work

Fourteen cities,
four provinces.

From Vancouver to Montréal, across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. Office towers, retail plazas, housing co-operatives, manufacturing plants and data centres.

Calgary, Alberta · BOMA Phase II

444 5th Avenue SW

A 23-storey tower from 1972, assessed for Aspen Properties across five studies. We found a chiller plant running at a coefficient of performance of about 1.0, an outdoor air sensor frozen at 24 °C, and an air handler cooling supply air to 5 °C in August while the floors below reheated it.

Fire-tube fouling, found on inspection. Scale is an insulator; this is heat going up the stack.

Mechanical room with distribution pumps and headers
Distribution pumping. Constant-speed pumps running flat out are one of the most common findings in this work.

A short film on the Gateway Group retail property, covering how BOMA Enspire funding advanced energy efficiency and tenant comfort, including the rooftop unit heat pump replacement study and the controls work behind it.

Asset types

Where this
work applies.

The engineering is the same everywhere: measure, find the gap between design intent and operation, quantify it, verify the fix. What changes is the constraint: a hospital cannot be shut down, a process facility cannot lose production, and a housing co-operative cannot lose the funding window.

Next step

Request an
assessment.

Twelve months of utility data and access to the mechanical room is enough to begin.
