Our team includes a multidisciplinary team of experts working together to turn climate goals into real operational outcomes.
Home Energy Expertise
More than 25 years of experience designing and delivering residential energy efficiency, affordability, and demand-side management initiatives.
Energy Audits
Energy audits provide the evidence needed to make informed decisions about energy efficiency and building upgrades. As a licensed NRCan Service Organization, we support governments, utilities and program partners through home energy evaluations, quality assurance and technical expertise that help ensure the integrity and effectiveness of residential energy efficiency programs.
This includes EnerGuide home evaluations, quality assurance, technical oversight, energy coaching, workforce development and training, and support for residential retrofit and financing programs.
Retrofit Planning
We help housing providers and building owners plan energy retrofits that reduce emissions, improve building performance and support long-term asset management goals. Our approach considers technical requirements, financial constraints and organizational priorities to identify practical pathways for decarbonization.
This includes building portfolio assessments, retrofit roadmaps, capital planning integration, funding strategies and implementation planning.
Energy Conservation Programs
We help governments, utilities and housing providers design and deliver energy conservation initiatives that improve affordability and reduce energy consumption. Our expertise combines technical program delivery with participant engagement to maximize uptake and long-term impact.
This includes energy efficiency initiatives, affordability programs, direct-install programs, participant support, outreach strategies and program implementation.
Demand Side Management
We help utilities, governments and communities use energy more efficiently by designing and delivering initiatives that reduce energy demand and support long-term energy system goals. Our work focuses on helping partners increase participation in energy efficiency programs, improve affordability and reduce emissions, while maximizing the value of existing energy infrastructure.
This includes energy efficiency program delivery, building electrification initiatives, income-qualified programs, market transformation activities and innovative approaches that help communities transition to a low-carbon future.
Home Energy Evaluations and Quality Assurance
We support the delivery of high-quality residential energy efficiency programs through energy evaluations, technical oversight and quality assurance. Our expertise helps ensure program integrity, consistent standards and reliable results for homeowners, funders and delivery partners.
This includes home energy evaluations, quality assurance reviews, technical compliance, program oversight and support for residential retrofit initiatives.
Workforce Development
A successful energy transition requires a skilled workforce with the knowledge and tools to support growing demand for energy efficiency and building decarbonization. We help strengthen sector capacity through training, professional development and knowledge sharing.
This includes energy advisor training, workforce development initiatives, capacity-building programs and support for emerging energy professionals.
Cross-Cutting Program Expertise
The following capabilities support climate, energy, transportation, waste, and sustainability initiatives across sectors.
Strategic Direction
We help clients gain clarity, define priorities, and shape strategies that fit their organizational goals and community context. Our advisory work is grounded in practical experience, ensuring recommendations are realistic, achievable, and aligned with broader climate objectives.
This includes strategic framing, pathway development, organizational readiness, and problem definition that sets programs up for success.
Applied Research & Feasibility
We support clients with evidence-based insights that reduce risk and build confidence. Our research focuses on understanding feasibility, behavioural drivers, operational realities, and best practices from across the sector.
This includes feasibility studies, needs assessments, environmental scans, behavioural research, best-practice reviews, and applied research in partnership with academic and sectoral experts.
Program Design
We design programs that are practical, people-centred, and ready for implementation. Through a structured discovery process, we map out the components a successful program needs: staffing, budgeting, engagement, behaviour-change strategy, monitoring, and evaluation.
Clients leave with a clear, actionable roadmap and a program model that fits their organization, their goals, and the communities they serve.
Engagement & Behaviour
We help organizations connect with the people their programs serve—residents, tenants, staff, and stakeholders. Our approach blends behavioural insights, accessible communications, and multilingual engagement to support participation, build trust, and shift everyday habits.
This includes stakeholder consultation, community outreach, behavioural science, education strategies, and communications designed for clarity and uptake.
Implementation & Delivery
When clients need additional capacity, EnviroCentre becomes an extension of their team. We train staff, manage logistics and contractors, support participants, and run day-to-day implementation.
Our delivery teams bring programs to life—from home energy support and financing tools to mobility campaigns, waste diversion programs, and nature-based solutions. We track performance, learn from data, and continuously improve outcomes.
Monitoring & Evaluation
We help clients understand what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus next. Our evaluation approach combines data analysis, field insights, and continuous improvement to strengthen program impact and support scale.
This includes performance tracking, outcome measurement, funder reporting, and learning loops that ensure programs evolve with community needs and organizational goals.
Technical Advisory
Our technical expertise supports clients across residential energy, transportation, waste and circular economy, and green infrastructure. We provide the diagnostics and analysis required to design effective, efficient climate programs.
This includes energy assessments, waste audits, mobility and transportation analysis, green infrastructure planning, costing, and technical guidance that informs program design and delivery.
Program Economics
We design financial pathways that make climate programs viable, accessible, and scalable. Our work includes PACE-style models, loan programs, incentive structures, budgeting, and business case development.
We help clients structure programs that make sense financially—for organizations, funders, and the people they ultimately serve.
Partnerships & Capacity Building
Strong programs rely on strong systems. We build the capacity of staff, contractors, and partners to deliver climate solutions effectively. We also support relationship-building across organizations, community partners, and institutions.
This includes training, workforce development, partnership strategies, and collaborative models that expand reach and improve program delivery.
