EnerGuide Home Evaluations
EnerGuide evaluations assess the energy performance of homes through on-site testing, insulation review, air leakage measurement, and energy modelling. The results provide a clear rating and practical recommendations for improving efficiency and comfort.
Blower Door Testing
Blower door testing measures the airtightness of a building. This is a key requirement for BC Step Code compliance and helps identify air leakage that can impact energy efficiency, comfort, and building durability.
BC Step Code Compliance
We support builders and designers in Duncan and the Cowichan Valley with BC Step Code compliance for new construction projects. This includes energy modelling, performance reporting, and airtightness testing required for municipal approvals.
Energy Modelling
Energy modelling is used to evaluate building performance before construction begins. It helps optimize design decisions, improve energy efficiency, and ensure compliance with provincial building code requirements.
F280 Heat Loss Calculations
We provide CSA F280 heat loss and heat gain calculations to ensure HVAC systems are properly sized. This supports comfort, efficiency, and long-term system performance.
New Construction & Retrofit Support
We work on both new construction and retrofit projects throughout the Cowichan Valley, helping clients meet energy requirements from design through completion.
Whether you are building a new home, renovating an existing property, or working toward municipal energy requirements, we can help guide the process from design through final testing.
