Energy Management & Advisory services in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and throughout the Lower Mainland, BC. Professional mechanical engineering solutions.
IFEL provides energy management and advisory services for residential towers, commercial buildings, and production facilities across British Columbia.
We support owners and developers in achieving competitive building outcomes that meet BC Step Code and EnerGuide targets without compromising constructability.
Energy management and advisory services support building owners and developers throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, and the Lower Mainland who need to meet BC Step Code requirements, achieve EnerGuide ratings, or reduce operational energy costs. We help residential developers, commercial building owners, and industrial facility operators optimize energy performance while maintaining building functionality and occupant comfort.
We support new construction projects seeking Step Code compliance, existing building retrofits targeting energy savings, and facilities requiring energy performance verification. Our services help owners navigate evolving energy codes, qualify for utility incentives, and reduce long-term operational costs.
BC's energy codes are among the most progressive in North America, with Step Code requirements that continue to evolve. Our team stays current with these changes, helping owners navigate complex requirements while maintaining constructability and cost-effectiveness. We've helped developers achieve Step Code compliance while reducing construction costs through smart design choices.
For building owners, energy efficiency isn't just about code compliance—it's about reducing operational costs and improving building value. Our energy management services help owners understand energy performance, identify improvement opportunities, and implement cost-effective solutions. Depending on baseline conditions, our comprehensive energy management programs can deliver significant energy cost reductions for some facilities.
We begin by analyzing building energy performance targets, code requirements, and utility incentive programs. We develop energy modeling to evaluate design options and identify cost-effective strategies for meeting performance goals. We create compliance roadmaps that outline steps needed to achieve Step Code targets or EnerGuide ratings.
We provide energy modeling and advisory inputs to support the design of energy-efficient building systems including high-performance HVAC, building envelope improvements, and renewable energy integration. We develop measurement and verification plans that track actual energy performance against design targets. We provide operator training to help building systems operate efficiently and maintain energy savings over time.
IFEL's energy management approach goes beyond code compliance—we optimize for lifecycle cost and operational efficiency. Our energy modeling evaluates multiple design options, identifying solutions that achieve energy targets while maintaining constructability and operational simplicity. We work with owners to understand their priorities, balancing energy performance with other project goals.
Our measurement and verification programs provide ongoing value, tracking actual performance and identifying optimization opportunities. We analyze utility data to evaluate energy savings using M&V methodologies and identify areas for further improvement. Our operator training helps building systems operate as designed, supporting energy savings over time. This comprehensive approach protects owner investments and supports long-term energy performance.
Our energy management services align with BC Step Code requirements, EnerGuide rating systems, ASHRAE energy standards, and utility incentive program requirements. Our recommendations are aligned with applicable codes while optimizing cost-effectiveness. Our services help owners navigate evolving energy regulations throughout British Columbia.
