Residential Energy Advising
Permit Compliance & Incentive Optimization
Navigating the BC Energy Step Code is now a mandatory part of the residential permit process. As a Certified Energy Advisor, I provide the professional modeling required to de-risk your project and unlock thousands in energy efficiency rebates.
Step Code Compliance Modeling: We utilize energy modelling software to create a digital twin of your home, ensuring your design meets or exceeds municipal step code requirements prior to permitting.
We perform HVAC sizing with room-by-room CAN/CSA-F280-12 heat loss and gain calculations. This ensures your HVAC system is balanced for your specific thermal envelope.
Rebate & Incentive Access: Our reports are the key to unlocking Fortis, Clean BC and federal incentive programs, often offsetting the costs of performance upgrades, but also reimbursing for some of our services.
All of our energy compliance documents and F280 reports are signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer, so you can be confident in a smooth permitting process.
