Sustainable Energy

We help buildings use less energy and produce more of their own, with designs that lower operating costs and carbon emissions without giving up comfort.

Our approach

Energy performance is decided early, by the shape of the building, its envelope and the systems chosen. We model energy use, compare options with real numbers, and design solar, heat pump and storage systems that make sense for the site and the budget. For existing buildings, we find where energy is lost and plan upgrades in a sensible order.

What we deliver

Energy modelling

Simulation of building energy use for design decisions and code compliance.

Energy audits

On-site assessment of where an existing building loses energy and what to fix first.

Solar photovoltaic systems

Rooftop and ground-mounted solar layouts, yield estimates and design.

Heat pumps and geothermal

Air-source and ground-source systems designed for Canadian winters.

Net-zero design

Targets, envelope and systems for net-zero and near-net-zero buildings.

Battery storage

Storage sized for backup power and peak demand management.

Retrofit planning

Step-by-step upgrade plans that make each investment count.

Incentive guidance

Help identifying the rebate and incentive programs available for your project.

Typical projects

  • New homes and multi-unit residential
  • Deep energy retrofits
  • Commercial and institutional buildings
  • Solar installations
  • Off-grid and remote buildings
  • Heating system electrification

How it works

  1. Baseline

    We measure or model how much energy the building uses now.

  2. Options

    Measures are compared by cost, savings and carbon reduction.

  3. Design

    The selected systems are designed and coordinated.

  4. Verification

    Performance is checked after installation.

Why ASE GROUP

One team, every discipline

Design, engineering and construction in one group, so nothing falls between separate consultants.

One point of contact

A single project lead coordinates everyone involved and keeps you informed at every stage.

Designed for Ontario

Work that meets the Ontario Building Code and stands up to the Canadian climate.
