Energy Infrastructure
Sustainable, Resilient Energy Solutions
Our Energy Infrastructure team delivers comprehensive energy strategy related to new and existing infrastructure, design, engineering, and implementation solutions for building owners, district energy service providers, developers and facilities managers. Our expertise spans power generation & storage, thermal energy plants, electrical and thermal distribution systems, renewable energy integration, energy & GHG reduction consulting and energy efficiency enhancements.
We help clients achieve both immediate and long-term objectives, with a focus on energy reduction, GHG reduction and zero-carbon building design. Our projects span multiple sectors and include commercial office buildings, mixed-use developments, hospitals, post-secondary education, district energy centers and energy transfer stations, central utility plans in institutional facilities and campuses, industrial facilities, pharmaceutical and defense. We strive to incorporate advanced systems such as thermal storage, heat pumps, waste heat recovery, co-generation and renewable energy solutions into all our projects.
Our Areas of Focus
Consulting
Strategic Planning & Feasibility Studies
- Energy Master Planning – Developing long-term strategies for energy use, carbon reduction, resilience and sustainability
- Net-Zero & Low-Carbon Strategies for new campuses and buildings – for initial build and net-zero readiness planning
- Sustainability Design Reviews providing design modification considerations to enhance energy efficiency or carbon reduction
- Electrification & Renewable Integration Feasibility Studies
- District Energy & Thermal Network Feasibility Studies
- Energy Audits
- Financial Analysis & Lifecycle Costing
System Optimization
- Energy Efficiency Upgrades – Identifying, designing, and implementing measures to meet energy performance targets
- Energy Performance Benchmarking – Comparing building energy use to industry standards to help building owners and operators identify improvements, track progress and set reduction targets
- HVAC & Thermal Systems – Optimizing heating, cooling and ventilation systems for performance and sustainability
- Monitoring & Verification – Tracking energy savings through data collection, analysis, and reporting to ensure efficiency measures perform as expected
Central
Plant
With decades of experience, we design efficient steam, hot water, and chilled water systems tailored to client needs. Spanning commercial, institutional, defence and healthcare sectors, our expertise ensures optimal equipment sizing, selection, and configuration, maximizing investment and operational efficiency. We focus on evidence-based engineering designs and market-leading equipment to deliver cost-effective, reliable and high-performance plants.
District Energy
Our team specializes in centralized and nodal district energy systems for large scale networks and smaller stand-alone developments. We have contributed to major projects like Toronto’s District Heating System (now known as Enwave) since it was originally designed, and remain actively involved with IDEA, reinforcing our leadership in the field.
Generation
& BESS
We design customized electrical storage and generation solutions for our clients to address peak shaving opportunities, risks around energy resilience, and to meet GHG reduction targets. Our expertise spans battery energy storage systems (BESS), distributed energy resources, generation, co-generation and the integration of these systems and other renewables generation sources.
Electrical Utility Consulting
We focus on helping our clients reduce risk and costs associated with connections and modifications to incoming electrical service. De-risking and understanding the available capacities and the steps to secure those capacities is becoming increasingly more critical as electrification continues. Combining our vast experience designing resilient high and medium voltage electrical distribution with our understanding of grid connection requirements and processes gives our clients the ability to develop new and revitalization projects, and long-term electrification planning with confidence. Additionally, this team provides consulting and design services for EV infrastructure, ensuring scalable, future-proof solutions.
