Campbell River’s Energy Advisor
Energycraft Building Consulting, based in Campbell River, provides energy-advising services for homeowners, builders, designers and developers across North Vancouver Island.
We support new homes, renovations and high-performance projects with EnerGuide evaluations, BC Energy Step Code modelling, blower-door testing, F280 calculations, mechanical coordination and Passive House consulting.
Working with a locally based Energy Advisor means responsive service, easier scheduling and support from someone familiar with Campbell River’s climate and construction industry.
Energy-advising services in Campbell River
We work with builders and designers from the early design stage through final occupancy, providing the energy modelling, reports and airtightness testing needed to demonstrate BC Energy Step Code compliance.
Early modelling allows us to identify the most cost-effective combination of insulation, windows, airtightness and mechanical equipment before construction begins.
Services can include:
Preliminary Step Code modelling
Pre-construction energy reports
Permit documentation and compliance checklists
Step 4 and Step 5 feasibility reviews
Mid-construction blower-door testing
Final blower-door testing
As-built energy modelling
Final Step Code documentation
Our goal is to help the project meet its target without unnecessarily increasing construction costs or complicating the building envelope.
Campbell River Services
-
Our EnerGuide evaluations help homeowners understand how their home uses energy and which upgrades can provide the greatest improvement and return on investment.
Evaluations can include energy modelling, blower-door testing, an EnerGuide rating and practical recommendations for insulation, airtightness, windows, heating, cooling and ventilation.
-
We provide blower-door testing for new homes, renovations, multiplexes, modular buildings and Passive House projects.
Testing during construction helps identify air leakage while repairs are still accessible. Final testing verifies the completed building’s airtightness for Step Code, EnerGuide or Passive House requirements.
-
We provide CSA F280 heat-loss and heat-gain calculations for heat pumps, furnaces, boilers and radiant systems.
We can also assist with heat-pump sizing, HRV layouts, ventilation requirements and mechanical coordination. Aligning the mechanical design with the energy model helps improve comfort and avoid oversized equipment.
-
Energycraft supports projects targeting Passive House, Step 5, Net Zero and other advanced performance standards.
Our services include PHPP modelling, thermal-bridge analysis, window reviews, airtightness planning, mechanical integration, certification coordination and construction-stage testing.
-
Our team combines energy modelling with hands-on experience in carpentry, prefabrication, mechanical design and high-performance construction.
This allows us to help resolve real project details involving air barriers, foundations, windows, ventilation, mechanical penetrations and construction sequencing, not simply produce a compliance report.
We work collaboratively with owners, builders, designers and trades from early design through final testing.
