Airtight Consulting ltd.
THE LOWER MAINLANDS ENERGY EFFICIENCY SPECIALISTS
As certified energy advisors we are here to assist you with all of your energy efficiency needs. Whether it be a new home requiring energy modeling and building code compliance, an efficiency upgrade to an existing home or air leakage testing airtight consulting will help you and your home become more energy efficient.
We input your proposed house plans and specifications into the modelling software to predict the energy efficiency of your home and provide you with a detailed energy report.
With our state of the art blower fan equipment we depressurize your house and test for air leakage and provide methods to improve building airtightness.
Using the energy model based on your house plans we will prepare the files and send them to National Resources Canada so they can issue the corresponding EnerGuide label.
By using our blower fan, thermal imaging, and/or smoke pencils we can test your home to find points of thermal heat losses and provide a report and/or consultation and ways to improve.
Educating builders and home owners on the best practices for achieving energy efficient and sustainable buildings that last.
We will come and do an on-site full house energy inspection. Once the inspection is complete we input the information into the energy modelling software and then provide upgrade recommendations and what benefit they will have.
Showing compliance to the BC Step Code is already mandatory in some jurisdictions and will soon be mandatory across the province. We use the energy model and work with your designer to ensure your new house complies to the required “Step” in your area and provide the necessary paper work to be submitted with your building permit.
