EQ Building Performance Inc
EQ Building Performance is a collaborative Toronto-based consulting firm. We bring together architects, developers, and building owners to create high performance buildings and communities. We believe that measurement informs design. Our professionals apply integrated design and computer simulation to influence projects, and use post-occupancy metering and performance data to test and validate our design tools. Our core services include energy modeling, sustainability consulting, advanced energy system feasibility studies, building labelling, commissioning, and resource metering/verification services. Current high performance building standards are future minimum building code requirements. Buildings will soon be mandated to consume net zero resources by design, and owners will be required to measure, analyse and report their energy and water consumption. These challenges create an opportunity for the design and construction community to engage in the creation of more efficient, comfortable, and resilient buildings, resulting in cost effective operations and maintenance.
