The decisions that shape your high-rise budget
Central plant vs suite systems
We compare central four-pipe plants, water-source heat pump loops and suite-level systems on lifecycle cost, sub-metering and energy standard compliance.
Pressure zoning & vertical distribution
We design domestic water and hydronic zoning, riser strategies and booster systems that keep pressures in range from the lowest floor to the penthouse.
Life safety integration
Fire alarm, emergency power, smoke control, standpipes and elevator recall need to work as one system. We coordinate them so commissioning goes smoothly.
Municipal green standards
From the Toronto Green Standard to Ottawa’s High Performance Development Standard, we design systems that meet the tier required at site plan.
