About

Bilmar Engineering Inc. is a building performance and sustainability consulting firm dedicated to helping building owners, developers, and municipalities reduce energy use, lower carbon emissions, and secure funding for deep energy retrofits and decarbonization projects.

We work across all major Canadian jurisdictions, guiding clients through energy code compliance, funding applications, and retrofit execution—all while achieving certifications such as IREE, CaGBC Zero Carbon, LEED, and Built Green.

What sets us apart?
Bilmar goes beyond traditional consulting. We combine advanced energy modeling, decision-support web tools, and real-world implementation expertise to deliver retrofits that are financially viable, technically sound, and constructible with minimal disruption.
