About

Footprint is a national leader in building performance, sustainability, and energy consulting, specializing in helping clients reduce emissions, lower energy use, and improve the long-term resilience of their buildings. With a deep bench of experienced energy modellers, auditors, sustainability specialists, and engineers, we support public and private sector clients across Canada in developing actionable, cost-effective retrofit and decarbonization strategies. Our work spans healthcare, multi-unit residential, commercial, institutional, and recreational buildings—delivered through deep collaboration with architects, owners, and construction teams. Whether completing ASHRAE energy audits, guiding buildings to meet NECB 2020 or Zero Carbon standards, or modelling the cost-benefit of envelope and mechanical upgrades, Footprint brings a technical, data-driven approach to every retrofit project. We’re passionate about making existing buildings better—for performance, for occupants, and for the planet.

Highlights

We have supported numerous Net Zero Carbon and Net Zero Energy projects across Canada, including deep energy retrofits and decarbonization initiatives.

Our team has delivered energy modelling and sustainability services for award-winning healthcare, multi-unit residential (MURB), and institutional buildings—many of which have achieved LEED Gold and WELL certifications.

We have also completed a wide range of ASHRAE Level 1, 2, and 3 energy audits for both public and private sector clients. These projects often involve large, nationwide building portfolios. Notable clients include Oxford Properties, Cadillac Fairview, Seneca College, and Hopewell Properties—each with assets located across Canada. These audits have identified practical, cost-effective energy conservation measures to support long-term sustainability goals.
