PCL Edmonton Buildings and Civil are available to support your building retrofit needs. Please contact us to get started.
As regulations for sustainable buildings become increasingly stringent, the construction industry is evolving to meet higher standards. Across North America, building codes are advancing to promote sustainable design and enhance energy efficiency, and PCL is leading the way, reaching for continuous improvement in sustainability.
While building codes establish baseline requirements for elements such as insulation, windows, and mechanical systems, many clients are setting their sights higher, pursuing certifications like Passive House and LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Achieving these ambitious standards requires a high-performance, energy-efficient building envelope that minimizes environmental impact and maximizes long-term performance.
Best outcomes are rooted in the early engagement of PCL’s in-house experts through the preconstruction process. Integrated collaboration between the client, consultants, key trade partners and PCL experts is critical. Design review and development, constructability assessments, construction planning and quality management are necessary to construct an efficient and high-performing building envelope. We try to identify performance challenges at the design stage, and well before we get started on site.
