Cybil Martin P.Eng, our Principal, has over 20 years of experience in construction, focused intensively on retrofit mechanical, HVAC and building services engineering. She brings to us a depth of hands-on experience in a project-based environment, from proposals to closeout and a passion for the application of innovative solutions. Working with buildings from the 1920's through to today's ultra high-rise, her wealth of experience with both new and legacy designs, old and new equipment and the myriad ways to debug, improve and redesign them for improved comfort, efficiency and longevity.
Striving for optimum solutions to difficult retrofit problems she continues to serve clients from across the construction spectrum, with particular focus on multi-user residential and commercial work. Skilled at energy assessment she has a lengthy record of analyzing and delivering on improved building systems that save clients in both energy and maintenance costs by focusing on delivering value added engineering.
Having spent years on the Board of Directors of her housing co-operative she understands what the system looks like from 'both sides of the table' and what challenges both Management and Directors face in driving capital projects forward, including reserve fund assessment and helping to manage Owner side optics with clear communication. That experience informs her desire to work towards applying high-performance but durable equipment with a long, trouble-free service life for both her own and the client's peace of mind.
As a firm we believe in delivering more than maintaining the status quo and going beyond simple equipment replacement in the 'like-for-like'' model. We commit to looking 'deep under the hood' to find the root causes of our client's building issues and then apply every tool at our disposal. We want to find the right, sustainable solution for our clients to bring long term reliability and value, not just the 'right-now' fix.
