  • 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.

    Vancouver, your Vancouver Public Library—Renfrew Branch is now fully electric! As part of the City of Vancouver's Climate Emergency Action Plan to achieve 50% GHG reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050, we had the pleasure of partnering with the city to transform this community facility. Through strategic lifecycle replacement of mechanical equipment, we conducted a comprehensive energy study, design planning, and implementation that went far beyond simple decarbonization. Our approach focused on creating a resilient community hub that not only eliminates emissions but also enhances the facility's ability to serve as a safe space during extreme weather events. The retrofit included replacing existing gas-fired air handling units with advanced electric systems featuring air-source VRF heat pumps, 2-stage filtration, and advanced building automation—all while keeping the library 100% operational throughout the transition. 🎯 THE RESULTS:  ✅ The facility is now 100% electric  ✅ 90% GHG reduction (29 tonnes CO₂e eliminated annually)  ✅ 117 MWh energy savings (25% reduction annually)  ✅$3,000 in energy cost savings  ✅ Community cleaner air space during wildfire smoke events  ✅ Community cooling centre during heat waves Renfrew Library represents everything we’re about. 🏢 Benefit to the client. 🤝 Benefit to the community. 🌎Benefit to the planet. Shoutout to our incredible team Dawn-Marie BarreiraMahmoud Abdalhamid, and Michael Reimer and our partners O'M Engineering, AES Engineering Ltd, and RJC Engineers for turning complex challenges into community wins.   #GHGReduction #VancouverBC #CleanEnergy #BuildingRetrofit #Decarbonization #CommunityResilience #CleanerAirSpace #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableBuildings #CityOfVancouver #ClimateAction #HVAC

  • 🌍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
