Residential Upgrades
|
Looking to reduce your monthly utility bills? Want a healthier, more comfortable house to live in? We can help you determine the upgrades that get you the best bang for your buck and create an Improvement Plan that you can use to budget for future projects.
We’ll also lead you through the process of applying for and receiving grants through Energy Efficiency Alberta to decrease the total costs of your project, like through the Clean Energy Improvement Program. |
Major Energy Retro-Fits
|
We can increase the insulation and air-tightness in your home, decrease water usage, upgrade windows and doors, increase controlled ventilation, install energy monitoring systems, smart thermostats and much more. We’ll coordinate with trusted tradespeople to upgrade HVAC systems, install Solar PV Arrays, battery banks or even a charger for a new electric car. We complete all the aesthetic upgrades that accompany these kinds of upgrades so at the end of the project you’ll have a home that feels and operates like new (or better)!
As with small-scale residential upgrades, we will help you apply for grants through Energy Efficiency Alberta to decrease the overall of your project. |
Are you a landlord/property manager? Retro-fits are an opportunity to decrease the long-term operating costs of your assets while making esthetic upgrades and at the same time. We can even work with you to create a maintenance schedule for your properties so that you can budget for upcoming large expenditures and show you how spending more initially on durable products can save you money and hassle in the long run.
We’ll be completing a major retrofit on our own property in 2019 and will track metrics including building performance, monthly utility costs, financial investment, loan rates, and returns so that others can use this information to justify similar upgrades to their own homes.

Design-Build Services
|
We offer contractor-led design-build services for new construction and major renovations with a focus on energy efficient, sustainable, and building-science based construction methods. We partner with the foremost design experts in the field to give you the best quality design possible but coordinate the whole process so that you have a simplified build experience and a single point of contact for your project. We take full responsibility for all outcomes of your project, so you never have to experience the hassle of trying to track down the “right” person.
Having the whole team integrated from the very beginning of the process allows us to recognize possible synergies in the project that could help reduce costs and timelines of the project while achieving a superior quality outcome. |
If you’re looking at high-performance building certifications such as LEED or Passive House, an integrated design-build approach is the best way to achieve them. Already have a design or a designer in mind? We’re willing to work with you to get the project done.
