It was a pleasure working alongside SHAPE as the owner and office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers (omb) as the interior designer to help realize this vision. From day one, the project was grounded in a highly collaborative, design-assist approach that enabled early alignment and supported a fast-paced delivery without compromising quality. Our team led the electrical, communications, AV, and security design, helping create a seamless and high-performing workplace that aligns with the overall architectural and interior intent. The finished 18,000 sq. ft. space is a thoughtfully crafted, residential-inspired head office that embodies SHAPE’s dedication to quality, materiality, and detail — offering a warm, timeless environment that supports both collaboration and focused work. Congratulations to SHAPE, office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers (omb), and the entire project team on a successful collaboration. #AESEngineering #AESTechnology #DesignABetterTomorrow

🏆⚡An Award‑Winning Project A Modern Aquatic Facility A Welcoming Civic Destination 🏊♂️🏞️ We’re proud to have contributed to the Mundy Park Pool in Coquitlam, working as part of the project team to deliver electrical engineering, lighting, and technology consulting services for key elements of this landmark civic facility. Recognized with two major provincial awards, the project highlights how thoughtful design and integrated engineering can shape inclusive, high‑performing community spaces: • BC Recreation and Parks Association Facility Excellence Award (Projects over $6M), celebrating design quality, accessibility, innovation and environmental responsibility • 2026 Bill Woycik Outstanding Facility Award from Recreation Facilities Association of British Columbia, honoring facilities that respond to clear community needs with long‑term impact The renewed facility replaces the former Spani Pool with a contemporary outdoor aquatic destination that significantly expands capacity and broadens community use. Our team supported the unique demands of an outdoor aquatic environment—prioritizing safety, durability and energy efficiency, while seamlessly serving leisure pools, universal change rooms, community spaces and evening use through carefully integrated electrical design. Set at the forested edge of Mundy Park, the facility balances technical performance with architectural intent, ensuring the infrastructure quietly enhances a welcoming, intuitive experience for all users. Congratulations to the City of Coquitlam, FaulknerBrowns, and the entire project team on this outstanding achievement—and on delivering a space that brings people together through recreation, connection and place.

Proud to have supported the full ⚡ electrification of Vancouver Public Library, Renfrew Branch.   Projects like this are a reminder that decarbonization is not just about replacing equipment. It is about making thoughtful, closely coordinated engineering decisions within real building constraints so that the community and environment can benefit.   For AES Engineering team, one of the key electrical challenges was helping the team navigate existing service capacity limitations. Full electrification can quickly put pressure on legacy electrical infrastructure, and assuming an oversized service upgrade can sometimes make good projects impractical.   Working closely with the mechanical and broader project teams, we supported a right-sized load calculation by taking a deep dive into the proposed mechanical load profiles and how the systems are expected to operate in practice. This collaborative approach helped maximize the project’s practical decarbonization potential while ensuring a realistic and achievable electrical solution. Congratulations to FirstLight Energy Solutions, the City of Vancouver, RJC Engineers, and everyone involved in bringing this meaningful community project to life.

🌍The Greenest Light is the One That’s Off. 💡 Earth Day is about more than efficiency—it’s about responsibility to the generations who will inherit these spaces. When we envision a truly sustainable building, we don’t just see efficient fixtures. We see a building that breathes with its occupants—adapting, responding, and using only what it needs. That vision comes to life in one of our recent projects: Capilano University’s Fuller Family Centre for Childhood Studies, Western Canada’s only degree‑granting integrated facility for early childhood care, research, and education. Nestled within a forested campus and designed with mass timber and biophilic principles, this centre was thoughtfully crafted for its most important users: children—alongside families, students, educators, and researchers who support them. At AES Engineering, we designed the lighting and controls to harvest daylight, respond to occupancy, and eliminate “vampire energy” — the power wasted when lights burn brightly in empty conference rooms or hallways. Photosensors dynamically adjust lighting across primary and secondary daylight zones, while customized controls support diverse spaces—from open learning areas and stairwells to kitchens and study rooms. Nowhere was purpose more critical than in the nap room, where lighting scenes were programmed to support children’s natural rhythms. For naptime, lights gently dim from 100% to 1% within seconds, occupancy sensors pause, and the space transforms into a calm, restorative environment—designed for comfort, health, and development. Even shared spaces include thoughtful features, like a theatre lighting setting for storytelling and movies. The result? ✅ Step Code 4 energy performance 📉 40% lower energy use than comparable buildings 🌱 A facility that balances energy efficiency with human well‑being By designing smarter, more responsive buildings, we’re doing more than reducing emissions—we’re creating healthier environments for children to learn, rest, and grow, while modelling sustainability in action for the next generation of leaders. This Earth Day, we’re proud to help design a better tomorrow—starting with the spaces today’s children experience every day.

The City of New Westminster has made a noteworthy move to improve tenant safety during extreme heat by focusing on cooler indoor conditions in existing rental housing. 🌡️ As landlords and housing providers explore air‑conditioning and other cooling solutions, it’s important that building electrical capacity remains part of the conversation. ⚡ In many older buildings, adding AC without first evaluating the electrical system can strain panels, feeders, distribution equipment, or even the incoming service. The result can be nuisance tripping, overheating, equipment damage, and increased fire risk. 🧊 Cooling upgrades should be paired with proper electrical due diligence, including: - Review of existing service capacity - Panel and feeder loading analysis - Spare breaker space and distribution constraints - Impacts to suites and common areas - Identification of any upgrades required to safely support additional cooling loads 🧯 Thermal safety matters. Electrical safety does too. AES Engineering supports housing providers, landlords, strata councils, and property managers in assessing electrical capacity and determining practical, safe pathways to accommodate cooling upgrades—whether through load management, redistribution, panel modifications, service upgrades, or phased implementation strategies.  #BuildingSafety #ElectricalEngineering #AESEngineering #DesignABetterTomorrow Read More: https://lnkd.in/gkHYBVEH

At AES, we’re proud to support the future of education by helping create school spaces that empower hands-on learning and meaningful connection. The new UBC School of Nursing (Vancouver) campus at City Centre in City of Surrey is a fantastic example of how thoughtful design enhances the student experience. Whether it’s the meticulously designed skills lab that immerses learners in practical experience or the shared lounge that connects students and faculty, our collaboration with 34F Design Inc. highlights the essence of a modern learning environment. ✨ Grateful to play a crucial part in supporting spaces that move education forward. ✨ #AESEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #DesignABetterTomorrow 📸: Barrie Underhill
