We specialize in Part 9 energy modeling for small residential and multi‑unit buildings under the BC Energy Step Code. From pre‑permit simulations to as‑built compliance reports, our team ensures airtightness, thermal performance, and mechanical efficiency meet or exceed municipal requirements.
We create detailed pre‑construction energy models for single‑family homes and small multi‑unit buildings under Part 9. Using industry‑standard tools (HOT2000, EnergyPro), we predict energy performance, airtightness, and comfort to guide your design.
Mid‑construction blower door tests verify that your air barrier is properly installed. We measure airtightness, identify leakage sites, and provide corrective recommendations to ensure you stay on track.
After construction, we perform final blower door tests and update your energy model to reflect as‑built conditions. You’ll receive a stamped compliance report ready for municipal approval under the BC Energy Step Code.
Evaluate and model HRVs/ERVs, heat pumps, furnaces, and ducting for small residential projects. Our simulations ensure your HVAC design meets Part 9 efficiency requirements.
Receive fully stamped, permit‑ready compliance documents. We bundle your energy model, test results, and code analysis into a single submission package for your municipality.
