Prompt, efficient and knowledgeable! They designed a modified truss for me.

At ROV Consulting, we have an in-house Energy Advisor, a third-party consultant who has been registered by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and allows us to be recognized as a licensed service organization for home energy evaluation.
Focusing specifically on local Okanagan communities like Kelowna and Revelstoke, our Energy Advisor provides both commercial and home energy modeling and airtightness testing – the two services needed to demonstrate compliance under the BC Energy Step Code for both Part 9 and Part 3 buildings. Our Energy Consultant has a vast knowledge base of building science principles, sustainable construction methods, and superior energy modeling techniques.
ROV Building Energy Services range from basic services, such as home energy evaluation, Step Code Compliance, and EnerGuide Labeling, to best-in-class services, such as achieving the upper steps of energy step code or superior energy-saving design properties inherent with Passive House, and Net Zero House. Our services include new home constructions as well as renovations and upgrades.
Energy code compliance including BCBC Performance Path, Step Code Compliance, and NECB Performance Path
Our superior energy-efficient building services include both New-build and Renovation Upgrade Service:
Prior to renovation or retrofit, building performance can be assessed using a commercial or home energy audit to prioritize upgrade strategies that would deliver the highest return-on-investment (ROI). Multiple energy upgrade strategies can be assessed to ensure viable impact on cost and energy savings:
Any building built thirty or more years ago needs improvements and upgrades to minimize inefficient energy consumption. And while a new kitchen or bathroom might be the focus for most, upgrading a building’s air-sealing or mechanical systems does much more for occupant comfort, well-being, and home energy efficiency.
At ROV we can provide the ROI of higher upfront costs associated with better energy performance against savings realized from significantly lower utility bills, smaller mechanical systems and footprint requirements, and extended building life.
In addition, we offer Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) for your projects. Life Cycle Analysis is an advanced sustainability assessment technique used to estimate a wide range of environmental impacts or costs of a project over its entire life. A comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis is essential if you are planning to achieve zero carbon or zero energy solutions or making long time-term decisions. It can be used for both new developments or rehabilitation and retrofit strategies.
