Our energy and sustainability services
Energy Reduction Study
Energy studies help you reduce your energy costs and environmental footprint. Our approach includes analyzing control optimization solutions, using efficient technology, heat recovery, and more. We can also assist you in obtaining available grants for your projects.
Energy Simulation
Energy simulation uses models to analyze the energy efficiency of systems, buildings, or processes by identifying inefficiencies and proposing strategies to reduce energy consumption and associated costs.
We conduct energy simulations that meet the highest quality standards for the modified NECB 2020 for Quebec, MLI Select, SB10 (Ontario), LEED, and financial incentive programs.
GHG Reduction Study
The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction study aims to identify and implement strategies to lower emissions responsible for climate change by adopting sustainable practices and clean technologies.
We offer solutions optimized for cost effectiveness and will also help you maximize available financial incentives.
Grant Acquisition
Grant or incentive acquisition involves the application and qualification process for government or private funding to support specific projects. Various organizations offer these financial incentives, including Énergir, Hydro-Québec, Transition Énergétique Québec (TEQ), Save on Energy, Enbridge, NRCan, and more.
Our team has successfully secured several million dollars in financial support for our clients.
Recommissioning of Mechanical Systems
Recommissioning enhances comfort and optimizes building operations while reducing energy consumption. The proposed measures typically offer short payback periods. These projects are primarily focused on improving building automation systems. We can help you maximize available financial incentives for these initiatives.
LEED and WELL Support
LEED and WELL consulting supports construction or renovation projects in achieving environmental and wellness certifications.
We provide all related certification services, including simulation, commissioning, and daylighting calculations. Our professionals are accredited and ready to assist you throughout the process.
Energy Renovation
Energy retrofitting involves upgrading an existing building or system to optimize its energy efficiency. This includes implementing technologies, materials, and practices to reduce energy consumption, associated costs, and environmental impact.
We leverage DWB’s integrated team to provide all related design services, including structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering.
Thermal Calculation of Building Envelope
Building envelope thermal calculations analyzes the thermal properties of walls, roofs, windows, and doors to reduce energy consumption and enhance indoor comfort. We provide effective resistance and thermal depreciation calculations.
Value Engineering
Value analysis aims to enhance project efficiency by identifying and eliminating unnecessary costs while maintaining the required quality and functionality.
We also assist professionals in optimizing automatic control sequences to improve comfort, reduce maintenance, and lower energy consumption.
Energy Management System (EMS)
The Energy Management System (EMS) is an organized method designed to monitor, control, and optimize energy consumption across various contexts, using technologies and practices to improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and minimize environmental impact. This approach is inspired, among others, by the ISO 50001 certification.
There are several funding sources available to support the analysis and execution of such projects.
Life Cycle Analysis
The whole building life cycle analysis (wbLCA) evaluates its environmental impact over its entire useful life. This analysis is conducted using specialized software such as Gestimat and Athena Impact Estimator.
Our team has received advanced training in this area, including the wbLCA certification from BCIT. Our professionals are listed in the Athena software registry: Find a wbLCA Professional
Project Management for Energy Savings and GHG Reduction
Project management for energy savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction involves planning, coordinating, and implementing strategies to optimize energy resource use and promote sustainable practices. This helps reduce the carbon footprint and conserve natural resources.
