Over the past 10 years, we have been establishing ourselves as the industry leaders in building systems optimization processes. The focal point of these services is the commissioning of HVAC control systems and utilization of information residing within these systems for ongoing performance optimization. 

To this end, we have developed an in-house Energy Management Information System (EMIS) which interfaces with all major Building Management Systems (BMS). We are currently developing modules for automatic commissioning that allows for continuous commissioning via uninterrupted supervision of BMS control sequences. 

CES Engineering personnel developed and executed a full-semester Measurement and Verification course (BSCI 9230) offered as part of the Graduate Certificate in Building Energy Modelling at BCIT. BSCI 9230 is the first course of this kind in Canada. The course is presented over 15 weeks period (May to August each year). This course is based on IPMVP and ASHRAE Guideline 14 M&V methodologies.

CES Engineering has been receiving federal and provincial tax incentives from the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program for experimental work in the field of active energy efficiency and monitoring based commissioning since 2010. We were also awarded government funds from Industry Research Assistance Program for our project on developing alternatives to building systems energy sub-metering. In 2015 our ecoOptimizer product line (on going commissioning tool) qualified for full funding for the pilot project with Federal Government under Build in Canada Innovation Program. We are currently in performance monitoring phase of our ecoOptimizer solution at the NRCan Canmet Energy Laboratory in Varennes, Quebec, as part of this government program.
