About Benchmark Building Science
We’re motivated by a simple idea: better buildings create better communities.
With every project, we strive to make a meaningful impact that lasts for generations. Our expertise spans energy modelling, commissioning, energy auditing, and sustainability consulting—all focused on creating buildings that are comfortable, efficient, and resilient.
Our team of dedicated engineers is committed to delivering exceptional results by understanding your project requirements, crafting customized solutions, and implementing innovative designs that elevate your construction projects.
Our Expertise
Explore our range of engineering services designed to address your specific project needs and drive sustainable construction practices.
Energy Modelling
We offer performance-based energy modelling to support compliance, guide design optimization, and help access funding opportunities.
Energy Auditing
Energy audits are a practical, cost-effective way to understand how your building is using energy—and where it could be using less.
Deep Energy Retrofit Consulting
With the right plan, we can transform today’s underperforming buildings into efficient, comfortable, and low-carbon spaces built for tomorrow’s demands.
Building Commissioning
Even the best-designed building can fall short of expectations if its systems aren’t installed, configured, and functioning as intended. Commissioning helps close that gap.
Sustainability Consulting
Whether you’re pursuing LEED certification, aligning with Net Zero targets, or integrating climate resilience strategies, we translate technical requirements into clear, achievable steps.
Project Experience
Our engineering firm provides a comprehensive range of professional services focused on optimizing building performance across all stages of a project. From energy modelling and system optimization to sustainability and high-performance design strategies, we provide expert guidance and solutions to help projects thrive and succeed.
Multi-Unit Residential
Multi-unit residential buildings play a critical role in addressing the growing demand for housing, where balancing construction cost, long-term performance, and occupant comfort is essential. Our energy modelling and consulting services support developers and design teams in evaluating system options, optimizing envelope and mechanical performance, and identifying cost-effective strategies that enhance efficiency without compromising project viability. We help deliver high-performance buildings that remain financially competitive while aligning with programs such as CMHC funding and other incentive frameworks.
Commercial
Commercial properties, including office spaces and larger retail developments, operate in competitive markets where operating costs, tenant comfort, and building performance matter. Through energy modelling, audits, and commissioning we help owners and project teams evaluate system performance and identify strategies that support long-term operational efficiency. This approach enables informed design decisions that balance performance with capital cost.
Institutional
Institutional buildings, such as hospitals and long-term care facilities, must balance long service life, occupant comfort, and strict operational accountability within highly energy-intensive environments shaped by rigorous standards such as CSA Z317.2 and CSA Z8000. These requirements drive complex system design and performance expectations that must be carefully coordinated from early design through operation. Our work supports design teams and facility managers with data-driven insight into building systems, helping guide performance improvements and ensure alignment with evolving energy and compliance requirements.
Public & Community
Public and community buildings, including museums, community centres, and ice rinks, often serve as defining spaces within a neighbourhood or city where people gather and connect. These projects carry a responsibility to deliver not only functional performance, but spaces that are welcoming, durable, and reflective of the communities they serve. We work with municipalities, non-profits, and project teams to navigate funding opportunities and deliver buildings that balance architectural intent with strong environmental performance, creating efficient, resilient spaces that communities can take pride in.
