We Think About Mechanical Systems Differently

IMPORTANCE

The mechanical system in a home controls comfort, provides fresh air to breathe, exhausts pollutants and removes moisture from the building.

Buildings account for almost 30% of all the energy that humans use. This marks an incredible opportunity to reduce the bourdon put on our planet.

On top of all of this…
The mechanical system constitutes tens of thousands of dollars in operational costs over its lifetime.

COMPLEXITY

The efficiency required in the construction industry today makes it increasingly more difficult to properly design and install a mechanical system.

We take pride in our precise analysis systems and protocols. Our smooth workflow allows us to get projects to our clients faster, with more accuracy, and less cost.

Who We Work With

Our Energy works with builders, designers, and technicians:

Plumbing & Heating | HVAC |  Refrigeration

We support field technicians on the design side so that they can excel in the field. Our detailed reports and precise calculation methods help bid more competitively and save money on installations.

What We Offer

Our Energy has a formalized balancing and commissioning process for HRV systems. We measure the HRV to ensure it is supplying and exhausting balanced and sufficient air. Next, we measure each grille to ensure the proper ventilation is getting to the proper areas.

What You Get

We leave you with a signed and stamped document that lists the measured rates of airflow in the building. This is your confirmation that the HRV system is doing what it was designed to do.
