Building Performance
Understanding your building’s performance is the first step.
We guide our clients to the best options to achieve energy targets, demonstrate compliance, and optimize design using building energy simulation.
Understanding how your building is performing is critical to meet energy targets, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing operational costs. By working collaboratively with the wider design team, our building performance group provides key insights throughout the project, from initial concept design to as-built assessments. Our approach considers climate data, passive and net-zero design, full-performance modelling and third-party certifications.

Existing Buildings
Canada has committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and we will have a significant role to play in meeting these goals.
We provide options and pathways for asset owners and managers to reach their decarbonization goals.
We know that existing buildings are a significant portion of our emissions that we can’t ignore. We use our extensive experience in building performance modelling and sustainability, paired with subject matter expertise from Quasar Consulting Group’s engineers to design and plan decarbonization strategies that are ambitious, constructible, and realistic.

Commissioning
Our commissioning team can be engaged throughout your project to ensure that the final project is meeting targets.
Modern buildings combine a variety of sophisticated systems – from HVAC to water distribution. Commissioning is the ongoing process of tuning and calibrating these systems to make sure buildings are performing as efficiently as possible.
Our commissioning team members monitor building plans, tests and documents for systems, and arrange training for building occupants on proper operation and maintenance.
