Award Winning
Energy Audits & Benchmarking
Pinnova offers comprehensive energy audits that evaluate building and facility energy consumption across mechanical, electrical, and envelope systems. Our certified energy engineers identify inefficiencies, recommend targeted upgrades, and prioritize measures based on return on investment (ROI). We also provide benchmarking services using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and other industry tools, helping clients compare performance across portfolios and establish a baseline for improvement. Our audits are designed to support compliance with local energy bylaws, unlock incentive funding, and reduce long-term utility costs.
Net-Zero & High-Performance Building Consulting
We specialize in guiding clients through the process of achieving net-zero energy targets and ultra-low energy performance, including Passive House and Step Code Tier 4 compliance. Pinnova integrates energy modeling, envelope optimization, system efficiency analysis, and renewable energy planning to ensure that each component contributes to the overall energy balance. Our team collaborates with architects, developers, and sustainability consultants to develop realistic pathways to net-zero that are technically feasible and economically viable, from design through to post-occupancy monitoring.
Decarbonization & Electrification Strategy
Pinnova develops custom decarbonization strategies for buildings, campuses, and industrial facilities aiming to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. We assess existing systems and explore electrification options such as heat pumps, electric boilers, induction systems, and renewable integration. Our approach includes grid impact assessments, life-cycle cost comparisons, and emissions modeling to support carbon reduction goals. Whether transitioning a legacy boiler plant or designing an all-electric new build, we deliver strategies that balance energy performance with resilience and scalability.
Renewable Energy System Design
Our team provides engineering and feasibility services for solar PV, solar thermal, wind, and geothermal energy systems. We evaluate renewable energy potential based on site conditions, orientation, and energy demand profiles, then design systems optimized for generation, storage, and grid interaction. Pinnova also assists with interconnection applications, incentive program submissions, and performance projections. Our expertise spans both on-site distributed systems and larger community-scale renewable deployments.
District Energy & Thermal Networks
Pinnova offers planning and design services for district energy systems, including centralized heating, cooling, and thermal storage solutions. We perform load aggregation analysis, thermal network routing, plant sizing, and energy metering design. Our team supports both new district systems and retrofits into existing developments, helping municipalities, campuses, and private developers reduce emissions and improve long-term energy management. Integration with renewable and waste-heat recovery sources is a key component of our district energy work.
Energy Modeling & Lifecycle Cost Analysis
Using advanced software tools like EnergyPlus, IESVE, and RETScreen, Pinnova creates detailed energy models to simulate building performance and inform design decisions. These models enable clients to evaluate the energy and financial impacts of various design options, such as different glazing systems, HVAC configurations, and insulation levels. We also provide lifecycle cost analysis (LCCA) to support capital planning and investment decisions, helping clients balance upfront costs with long-term operating savings and emissions reductions.
