Comply · Assess · Fund
Regulatory reporting and verification, ASHRAE energy audits, and the funding programs that pay for what the audit finds. For commercial, industrial and institutional buildings across Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba.
On 2 July 2027, thousands of mid-sized Toronto buildings become subject to mandatory energy and water reporting for the first time. A full year of utility data is required before that submission — which means the work starts now.

Three questions. An honest answer in ten seconds.
What we do
Three things drive every commercial energy project in Canada: a regulation you must satisfy, an assessment that tells you what to do, and a funding program that pays for it. We do all three — for every property type, at every scale.
ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager set-up, utility data aggregation across tenants and meters, and annual submission under O. Reg. 506/18 and the City of Toronto bylaw.
Annual retainer availableMandatory for buildings of 100,000 sq ft and over, in the first year and every five years after. Performed by a certified professional and filed on your behalf.
Recurring five-year cycleAccount and property set-up, meter mapping, tenant data aggregation and ongoing management — whether or not you are required to report. The benchmark most lenders and purchasers now ask for.
Standalone or with EWRB filingGHG inventories, emissions baselining and readiness assessments for jurisdictions moving to carbon intensity caps — including Vancouver's limits now in force.
Investor & lender reportingLevel 1, 2 and 3 audits to ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 211 for commercial, institutional and multi-residential buildings, reported to the standard's own outline.
Most requested → Level 2Manufacturing and warehousing facilities. Process loads, compressed air, motors, drives and heat recovery assessed alongside building systems.
Plant and building scopeSystematic testing of existing systems and correction of control sequences. Usually the fastest payback available, with no capital replacement required.
Save on Energy EBCx streamOntario Building Code SB-12 and SB-10 compliance, NECB modelling, calibrated building simulation and net-zero pathway analysis — sealed by a Professional Engineer where required.

Single building or portfolioWall and roof assembly review, glazing performance, thermal bridging and air-tightness. Where the heat actually leaves the building, and what it costs you each winter.
Thermographic survey availableM&V plans built into every Level 2 and 3 report, and post-retrofit verification to prove the savings a program or a lender requires you to demonstrate.

Up to 50% of project costThe regulatory calendar
Energy and water benchmarking stopped being voluntary in most of the country. These are the obligations that apply to Canadian commercial buildings right now.
The Toronto change matters most. From 2027 the threshold drops to 10,000 square feet, bringing thousands of mid-sized buildings into mandatory reporting for the first time. Portfolio Manager set-up and a full year of utility data are needed before that first submission — which means the work starts in 2026, not 2027.
We will also tell you what does not apply. Toronto's Building Emissions Performance Standards are frequently described online as being in force. They are not — they remain in development.
Scope of work
A Level 1 walk-through will not support an incentive application. A Level 3 investment-grade study is money wasted if all you need is a benchmark. Getting it wrong costs you either the funding or the fee.
Typical elapsed time from the point building data is available. Incentive pre-approval, where required, runs before this.
Utility analysis, benchmarking against comparable buildings, and a site walk-through. Identifies low-cost and no-cost measures with order-of-magnitude savings, plus the capital measures worth investigating further.
System-by-system survey of envelope, HVAC, lighting, controls and hot water. Consumption broken down by end use. Every measure costed with payback and available incentives, plus a measurement and verification plan.
Field measurement, data logging and a calibrated energy model tuned to your building's actual metered consumption. Engineering-grade estimates with interactive effects modelled, not assumed.
What an audit unlocks
Incentive rates are revised roughly every six months and have been trending downward — Ontario's small-to-medium solar rate fell to $770 per kW-AC on 30 June 2026. When you apply changes what a project is worth.
Where we work
Multi-site portfolios where a single measure repeats across dozens of buildings.
Large volumes, intermittent occupancy, older envelopes, constrained budgets.
Buildings facing EWRB reporting, MLI Select financing and rising common-area costs.
Process loads, compressed air, motors and heat recovery alongside building systems.
Portfolios with capital planning cycles and formal procurement requirements.
Including healthcare and mixed-use portfolios across four provinces.
How an engagement runs
We confirm the driver, the level required, and what data exists. Fixed-fee proposal before any work starts.
24–36 months of utility data, drawings, equipment lists, and controls trend data where available.
A licensed auditor on site. System-by-system survey, with measurement and logging at Level 2 and above.
End-use breakdown, measures ranked by payback, M&V plan, and documentation formatted for your programs.
Incentive applications submitted and tracked, and post-retrofit verification to prove the savings.
Commercial and industrial work across Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba, supported by a national network of licensed energy advisors. Multi-site and mixed portfolios stay with one firm.
Professional Engineers, mechanical engineers, Certified Energy Managers and Certified Energy Auditors. EnerSolution Inc. is a Natural Resources Canada Registered Service Organization and a certified BOMA Enspire Service Provider.
Formatted for the program you are applying to — Standard 211 report outlines, Portfolio Manager submissions, MLI Select attestations, or a tender package your own contractors can bid.
Request a proposal
A compliance deadline, an incentive application, a financing requirement, or a capital plan. Tell us which, and we will tell you what level of audit you need and what it will cost — as a fixed fee, before any work starts.
If you do not need an audit, we will say so.
