Indigenous Communities
What can we do to help your community?
Partnering with Indigenous and Remote Communities for a Sustainable Future
At CoEfficient Building Science, we have a proud history of travelling to Indigenous and remote communities across Canada. We are a mission-driven organization focussed on accelerating the transition to zero carbon communities. Our experienced team of Registered Energy Advisors is ready to work alongside you to help improve the energy efficiency, quality, and comfort of the homes in your community.
We understand that energy efficiency is about more than just reducing utility bills—it’s about creating healthier, more comfortable living spaces for families and building resilient communities that can thrive for generations to come. With thousands of evaluations conducted and extensive experience working with Coastal BC and Northern Alberta Indigenous communities, we bring both technical expertise and cultural sensitivity to every project.
Comprehensive Energy Evaluations, Wherever You Are
Our team will travel directly to your community and perform full EnerGuide evaluations at as many homes as needed. No community is too large or too small, and no location is too remote. Whether you are looking to focus on one specific area of need—such as airtightness improvements or insulation upgrades—or want our consultation on where interventions would be most effective, we are here to help.
Tailored Solutions for Your Community’s Unique Needs
We know that every community is different, with its own priorities, challenges, and opportunities. We don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor everything to the individual needs of your community, working directly with you to develop an approach that works for your specific circumstances, timeline, and goals.
We are happy to work with your community team to ensure there is good communication and coordination throughout the process. We welcome interested community members to join us and assist on the site work of the energy evaluations, creating opportunities for knowledge transfer and local capacity building.
What we can offer
EnerGuide Evaluations on every home
You provide us the list of houses, and we’ll inspect every one. No job is too large.
In-depth Building Condition Observations
Need a bit more detail than the standard EnerGuide provides? We use a custom software to create detailed reports considering all aspects of the home.
A custom approach to fit your community
We know that there is no such thing as a one size fits all approach. Before we arrive, we want to meet with you and tailor our services to your needs.
