Service description
EnSmart Solutions offers practical expertise in sustainable building design and commissioning, helping organizations implement energy-efficient upgrades and high-performance systems with confidence. We support retrofit and renovation projects by reviewing design intent, identifying optimization opportunities and verifying performance through structured commissioning.
As the owner’s representative, we collaborate with yarchitects, engineers and contractors to uphold sustainability goals throughout the project life cycle. Our involvement ensures that design objectives are achievable, construction quality is maintained and systems are tested, adjusted and documented to operate as intended. Our commissioning services include both new and existing systems, with an emphasis on HVAC, envelope performance and controls integration. We also help clients prepare for relevant standards and frameworks, including LEED, Passive House principles and municipal or utility program requirements without necessarily requiring certification as an end goal.
By bridging the gap between design expectations and real-world results, we help deliver reliable performance, reduced operating costs and long-term value.
Process & Deliverables
Our process is responsive to client needs and varies depending on whether the project is a new design, retrofit or equipment upgrade. Each engagement is scoped based on the level of support required and the project’s complexity, scale and objectives. We provide clear deliverables at each stage, from early design input to final commissioning.
We review the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR), provide input on system selection and sustainability features and ensure alignment between design drawings, operational goals and life cycle expectations. Where applicable, we assist in interpreting requirements under programs like LEED or Passive House.
We collaborate with contractors and consultants during implementation to ensure that key design elements are preserved through to construction. Our oversight helps address potential gaps early while maintaining quality and compliance.
We verify that building systems and components are installed, tested and functioning as intended. This includes field checks, documentation reviews, support for functional performance testing and resolution of deficiencies. Our commissioning process improves reliability and supports a smooth transition to occupancy and operation.
Following project handover, we support client teams with training, operational guidance and recommendations for optimization. Where required, we offer ongoing support for measurement and verification.
