What Consulting Engineers Specify

I first met Mike Byam at the 2017 Ideal Supply northern trade show in Barrie, Ontario, and have since had the pleasure of bumping into him at a few other industry events.
Investment in non-residential building construction totalled $13.7 billion in the fourth quarter, up 1.6% over the previous quarter, marking a third consecutive quarterly increase.
Sense was founded by three partners, Chris Micali, Ryan Houlette and Michael Phillips, with backgrounds in speech recognition. Their product (Sense and Sense Solar) is an energy monitoring device that is installed at the electrical panel to provide visibility into a house’s energy consumption.
Humber College is partnering with Siemens Canada to develop a Sustainable Microgrid and Renewable Technology Lab (SMART Lab) at its North Campus. The SMART Lab is an educational and experimental environment designed to train students and professionals in the use of a microgrid system and to conduct research with industry partners.
Following a 0.1% decline in January, the New Housing Price Index (NHPI) rose 0.2% in February.The combined metropolitan region of Toronto and Oshawa was the top contributor to the increase, with prices up 0.3% over the previous month. Market conditions and new list prices were the main reasons behind the gain. This was moderated by some builders offering promotional packages to stimulate sales and by lower list prices.
Institutional projects took a big lead in 2015, followed by commercial projects. Industrial/manufacturing, residential accommodation and hotels all retreated a little.
