Fernie Energy Solutions

Strata Engineering and Compliance

Local Professional Solutions

Navigating the lifecycle of multi-unit buildings requires more than just maintenance—it requires technical foresight and regulatory expertise. As a Fernie-based Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), I provide local strata managers and councils with the technical data needed to protect their investments and remain compliant with British Columbia’s evolving building laws.

Depreciation Reports

Meet the New BC Legislative Requirements with Confidence.
As of July 1, 2025, British Columbia has implemented stricter cycles for Depreciation Reports. We provide comprehensive, 30-year funding models that help strata councils avoid special levies and ensure long-term financial health.

  • Qualified Professional Oversight: Reports, designs, and reviews prepared by building science and mechanical engineers.

  • Accurate Life Cycle Costing: Realistic local contacts and pricing for Fernie's unique climate and culture. 

  • Compliance Ready: Fully compliance with the Strata Property Act and latest regulatory updates.

Building Envelope Condition Assessments (BECA)

Protecting the Integrity of Your Investment
Fernie’s high-snowfall and freeze-thaw cycles put immense stress on building exteriors. We provide deep-dive technical assessments to identify failures before they become catastrophic.

  • Moisture Ingress Analysis and Testing

  • Component Lifecycle evaluation

  • Remediation Planning: Technical Specifications and Designs including Building permit application and management.

Thermal Imaging and Troubleshooting

Using high-resolution thermal drone technology, paired with traditional techniques and handheld units, We can see through the building's skin to identify issues that are invisible to the naked eye.

  • Heat Loss Detection: Pinpointing missing insulation or significant thermal bridging.

  • Flat Roof Leak Tracking: Identifying trapped moisture under membranes to target repairs.

  • Rapid Assessments: Cost-effective surveys of large or multi-story complexes without expensive equipment rentals.

Energy Efficiency and Decarbonization Consulting

Future-Proofing Your Strata Against Rising Energy Costs.
With the move toward the BC Energy Step Code and peak-demand billing, I help stratas modernize their mechanical and electrical systems.

  • Mechanical System Audits: Evaluating heat pump conversions and boiler efficiency.

  • Carbon Neutral Roadmaps: Strategic planning for upcoming provincial emissions standards.

  • Energy Performance Contracting: Validating energy savings for large-scale upgrades.

  • Energy Rebates and Grant Programs: Specialized in the suitability and review of energy rebate and grant programs.
