Building Energy Performance, City by City

---

BuildEnergy.ca was conceived, designed, and developed by Dr. Energi to bridge the gap between complex building energy modelling and practical decision-making.

Building energy performance has traditionally been communicated through technical reports and specialized software, making it difficult for homeowners, builders, and even many decision-makers to understand the impact of design choices. Dr. Energi recognized the need for a more accessible, interactive approach that could translate advanced building science into meaningful insights for a broader audience.

BuildEnergy.ca was created to make building energy performance information understandable, transparent, and actionable. The platform enables residents, builders, designers, municipalities, educators, and policymakers to explore how different building components and design decisions influence energy consumption, operating greenhouse gas emissions, and long-term sustainability.

Powered by advanced building energy simulations and presented through an intuitive digital experience, BuildEnergy.ca empowers users to compare design scenarios, evaluate performance trade-offs, and make informed decisions before construction begins.

As a Canadian consultancy specializing in building energy performance, sustainability, climate resilience, decarbonization, embodied carbon analysis, renewable energy, and green building services, Dr. Energi developed BuildEnergy.ca with a vision to help municipalities educate their communities, support evidence-based planning, and accelerate the transition toward healthier, more energy-efficient, and lower-carbon buildings across Canada.

Today, BuildEnergy.ca serves as a scalable platform that can be customized for municipalities across the country, bringing local building energy insights to communities city by city.
