Sustainable Design
Practical, energy-efficient systems for sustainable buildings
Sustainable Mechanical Design That’s Built to Perform
We help clients meet their sustainability goals with mechanical design services that prioritize efficiency, longevity, and real-world performance. Whether you’re aiming for energy code compliance or high-performance green standards, our team delivers smart, cost-effective systems that balance environmental responsibility with practical design. We focus on results, not just certifications.
How We Approach Sustainable Design
We design with energy performance in mind, using practical strategies that deliver real value without overcomplicating systems or inflating budgets.
We align our designs with your project's sustainability targets, whether it’s Step Code, LEED, Zero Carbon, or internal energy-use goals.
From high-efficiency systems and heat recovery to passive ventilation and envelope coordination, we combine the best strategies to boost your building’s performance.
We work closely with energy modellers and complete load analysis to help you make informed choices and understand the impact of different systems early in design.
Sustainable outcomes rely on coordination. We work with architects, consultants, and energy advisors from day one to integrate smart systems from the ground up.
Smart Design with Long-Term Value
Our approach to sustainability is simple: systems should be efficient, cost-effective, and work for the people using them. We design for impact, not just compliance.
- Energy-efficient HVAC and mechanical system design
- Step Code, LEED, and Zero Carbon support
- Building load calculations
- Envelope coordination for passive strategies
- High-efficiency equipment selection
Frequently Asked Sustainability Questions
Yes. We design with Step Code in mind and can work with your energy advisor to meet or exceed the required level while staying practical.
Not always. We prioritize value-driven design, finding efficient solutions that deliver long-term savings without adding unnecessary complexity or expense.
Not at this time, but we’re always growing. We can connect you with trusted partners for these services or carry them as a sub-consultant under Bycar Engineering.
Ideally, at the start of schematic design. Early involvement helps us integrate efficiency strategies into the building layout and mechanical systems.
