Expertise

Our experience spans decades.
Our expertise grows daily.

Engineering Environments

Our experience and intimate knowledge of building functions allows us to ensure efficient buildings within today’s standards, regardless of building type, size or location.

We employ a full team of highly experienced, professional designers, engineers and mechanics.  INVIRO is a bilingual company, licensed to provide mechanical and electrical drawings as well as authorized documentation in both of Canada’s official languages.

Sustainable Development Services

Our sustainable development services enable building owners to capitalize on modern systems and technologies. These technologies allow buildings to reach highly efficient performance levels, which significantly reduce the environmental harms associated with construction practices.

Green development is redefining the way we think about the places we live, work and learn. We provide building owners and operators with a framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

LEED® Consulting

LEED® standards are evolving in sync with building standards, as the bar for efficiency in design and construction is continuously raised. Standards and code updates are released every three years. Our LEED® consultants are exclusive to green projects, the most current LEED® rating system knowledge and emerging technologies for high performing buildings.

INVIRO is dedicated to our client’s LEED® certification pursuits.  We craft building specific design solutions and develop budgets associated with any LEED® certification pursuit level.

LEED® Commissioning

As energy prices rise and “green” building becomes mainstream, commissioning is a common practice among owners and developers.  LEED commissioning is a core INVIRO service because we believe it ensures the highest building performance.

Commissioning of a building assists in reducing energy and maintenance costs, limits costly design changes, warranty and construction call backs, prolongs equipment life and improves occupant comfort.

INVIRO offers building commissioning services for both new construction and existing buildings.

Energy Modelling

Energy modelling utilizes a computer simulation to predict the amount of energy building systems will consume. The energy model can be used to:

  • Obtain points for LEED® building projects
  • Convey building code compliance
  • Estimate building energy use and carbon footprint
  • Obtain government or utility incentives for energy efficiency

INVIRO performs energy modelling suggests cost-effective, energy efficient measures to increase points earned and save money. The LEED® energy efficiency credit increases the number of credits earned and leads to an overall decrease of utility spend throughout the building’s lifetime. The INVIRO energy modelling analysis provides long term cost savings through proper energy efficient design.

There are also numerous government and utility incentives that reward energy efficient building design. INVIRO creates energy models to maximize the incentive offered to the building owner. Many incentive programs have funds allocated to pay for energy modelling to attract applicants.

Building Durability Analysis

Building durability analysis examines building components and construction processes to determine the life expectancy of the building envelope. The goal of this analysis is to minimize the materials used and, future construction waste over a building’s lifespan. These issues can occur as a result of inappropriate material selection or premature failure of the building and its constituent components and assemblies. The building durability analysis process will also allow a LEED® credit to be obtained.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging allows us to see what the naked eye cannot. Applied to building envelopes, this technology provides insight into systems performance and clues on what may otherwise turn into expensive failures.

This enhanced imaging, operated by a trained technician, offers quality control for new construction and allows us to identify retrofit or improvement opportunities without destructive testing techniques.

Project Types

Air Quality Studies and Improvements

We’ve gained valuable insight from our years of experience installing air control systems during building construction which can be applied to existing building renovations.

Our technicians can analyse a building’s air systems and make recommendations to avoid a building falling victim to ‘Sick Building Syndrome’, which results from poor air quality. INVIRO can modify, retrofit, or install new air control equipment to bring the building up to higher standards and establish healthier interior building environments.

Engineering Renovations & Improvements to Existing Buildings: Giving Buildings New Purpose

The original occupants don’t always use their building for its entire lifetime. When new tenants move in, extensive alterations may be necessary. INVIRO Engineered Systems Ltd. is frequently called upon when circumstances require a building’s mechanical and electrical systems be re-engineered. Because we’ve designed and installed so many mechanical systems during original construction, we have the knowledge necessary to provide complete retrofits, modernization or customization of existing mechanical systems. We can undertake these revitalization projects at relatively low costs, with minimal alterations to the building structure. New tenants will soon feel as comfortable in their new surroundings as if the building was designed for them.

Third Party Customized Reports for Natural Gas Vehicles

Through years of development and growth our team has proven their ability to tackle some of the most forward-thinking projects in the industry. For example, we have produced various third party feasibility studies that have generated significant capital savings for our clients.

When a client comes to us with a new idea, we jump at the opportunity to take on the job.

Our team of professionals has produced third party studies related to natural gas fuel conversions for industrial or commercial transportation purposes. We have carried out hands on research and data analysis, and are highly knowledgeable of the requirements to convert any commercial or industrial fleet to a fully functional natural gas solution.
