Leading the Charge in Energy Efficiency & Decarbonization

 

For over a century, Carmichael Engineering has been at the forefront of helping businesses operate efficiently through our service and maintenance programs. Our expertise has always been rooted in optimizing systems for peak performance and cost savings. Today, we continue to evolve, using our knowledge and experience to guide clients through the next phase of energy transformation: decarbonization.

Our national energy team is committed to showing that decarbonization is not just a goal but an attainable reality. We’ve taken the initiative to implement these principles in our own operations. Our Belleville building stands as a testament to what’s possible—it's a real-world example of how we can achieve meaningful reductions in carbon emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.


Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Costs

Energy usage is one of the largest factors affecting net operating income (NOI) for Canadian buildings. By focusing on energy efficiency, building owners and operators can significantly lower operating expenses, increase property value, and optimize asset performance.

Carmichael Engineering's Energy Solutions Division is comprised of a team of energy management experts dedicated to identifying and implementing effective energy performance strategies. We help you understand your building’s current energy consumption, develop a tailored energy management plan, and provide turnkey energy-efficient solutions that deliver real results.

Our services include:

  • Energy Benchmarking: A proven strategy that tracks and analyzes your building's energy use over time, providing reliable data to prioritize improvements.
  • Building Energy Audits: From preliminary energy analysis (PEA) using utility data to in-depth Investment Grade Audits (IGA) with on-site evaluations, we assess your building’s energy performance and recommend cost-saving measures.
  • Turnkey Energy Solutions: Our team handles the entire process from audit to implementation, ensuring seamless integration of energy-efficient upgrades that reduce costs and improve building operations.

By working with Carmichael, you’ll not only lower your energy consumption but also improve your building’s value and demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.


Our Energy Services: Tailored Solutions for Your Business

At Carmichael, we focus on actionable strategies that drive real improvements in energy performance. Our Energy Benchmarking services help you understand whether your building’s energy use is improving or worsening, tracking savings against a baseline while accounting for factors like weather and occupancy. This ongoing review allows you to pinpoint inefficiencies and make informed decisions about energy investment.

Energy benchmarking offers a wide range of benefits for your business:

  • Provides objective, reliable data on your energy consumption.
  • Demonstrates a commitment to sustainability to both tenants and employees.
  • Reduces operating expenses—35% of total building energy spend typically comes from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
  • Focuses your energy budget on areas that deliver the most savings and reliability.

Our Building Energy Audits go even further, offering both preliminary analyses and comprehensive site visits to evaluate your systems, identify potential energy conservation measures (ECMs), and help you prioritize improvements. For deeper insights, our Measurement and Verification studies provide detailed monitoring to optimize operational conditions and enhance performance.

Take advantage of these strategies to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and future-proof your building. Join us in Spring 2025 for the unveiling of our Belleville building case study, where you’ll see firsthand how we’re achieving decarbonization and energy savings. Sign up now to stay informed.
