You have sustainability goals for your existing building, but how do you make sure what you want is what you’re actually getting? Footprint’s building commissioning team formalizes the review and integration of all project expectations through functional performance testing, verification of operator training and systems manuals, and an assessment of documentation, to align all building systems with your criteria and objectives. Correctly executed commissioning leads to enhanced indoor air quality, a reduction in operation and maintenance costs, and extended equipment lifespan.

While all buildings contribute to global energy use, not all buildings are the same. This is especially true across a large portfolio or campus of buildings. How do you support the same standard across many buildings, when they were built at different times (and with a variety of alternative objectives in mind)? Our team of experts work closely with commercial and residential real estate clients, such as Oxford Properties, Cadillac Fairview, and Dream Unlimited, to tackle the big picture around wellness, energy, carbon reduction, and accreditation. Whether it’s helping clients achieve decarbonization or deep energy retrofits across an existing portfolio, or incorporating a high level of sustainable design in new developments, we’re here to determine the best course of action to achieve short- and long-term sustainability goals.

Did you know LEED O+M Certifications expire?! This summer, Footprint was part of SickKids Peter Gilgan Centre for Research & Learning’s LEED Recertification. The project was recertified at the Gold level under the LEED O+M: Existing Buildings v4.1 rating system. Footprint can help get projects recertified with their eyes closed 🙈 (this is a *slight* exaggeration but our point stands). When you hire Footprint, you’re hiring a team that deals with the recertification process on a regular basis. Things like determining eligibility, assessing LEED points based on seven categories, and submitting documentation for review become streamline and efficient. Have a project in need of LEED recertification? Reach out to our team here: https://lnkd.in/gmW-BTuq #LEED #Recertification #Sustainability #ExistingBuilding #LEEDGold #Healthcare #Toronto #SickKids

The Churchill Meadows Community Centre in Mississauga is LEED Gold certified!⭐ Footprint is proud to have been the sustainability consultant for the project, which resulted in an eye-catching facility that also *sports* some impressive sustainability features. And we mean that literally – the building itself is designed for maximum energy savings through the use of natural light and its reflection, energy-efficient LEDs, and architectural features that reduce solar heat gain (cooling loads). Congratulations MJMA Architecture & Design and the rest of the project team! 📷 Scott Norsworthy #SustainableBuildingDesign #LEEDGold #GreenBuildings #CommunityCentres #engineering #Sustainability #Sustainabilityconsultant
