“Building Knowledge is Mattamy’s integral partner when facing the many building science challenges we encounter in bringing new communities to market. From building science consultation to ENERGY STAR® testing and training, to regulatory updates and programs, Building Knowledge is instrumental in providing Mattamy with the information and tools we need to make sound business decisions and provide well-built homes to our customers. Mattamy partners with Building Knowledge because we can consistently rely on them to keep us updated on changes to codes or energy efficiency programs, and effectively guide us through the change management process.

We look forward to many more years of excellent service to come!”
“Building Knowledge is a preferred partner of Doug Tarry Homes as we advance our industry knowledge on Net Zero Homes and a low carbon future. We appreciate the variety of disciplines that help us get to the answers we need, from Indoor Air Quality to energy modeling of our homes and buildings as well as site review of our HVAC systems for optimal performance.”
“We are excited to be embarking on two more Net Zero luxury homes and wished to thank you for your leadership and “showing us the way forward” in high-performance building! I also wanted to convey my appreciation for the great team you have at BKC! Not only are they responsive and prompt but courteous and professional. It’s rare to be able to give an unequivocal recommendation, however, I have unreservedly referred you to my associates on many occasions. Thanks again!”
“Terra View Homes, as an industry leader and builder who recognizes the importance of constant improvement, has worked closely with Building Knowledge for over a decade and has found their expertise in the Building Science field invaluable. We recently increased our spec to nothing less than Net Zero Ready and could not have made this leap without the support of the staff at Building Knowledge. I am in communication with their staff on a weekly basis and have taken advantage of their on-site and off-site training sessions multiple times as we move towards increasing the knowledge of our staff and industry partners.”
“We were fortunate enough to be introduced to Building Knowledge through a project which required our homes to meet certain energy criteria. Over the past 10 years, they have provided our team with unparalleled advice, and support in navigating the eve-changing energy and building code compliance requirements. Their foresight, strategic advice, and ability to partner with our various consultants has allowed us to take a progressive approach to our building strategies and home designs. Building Knowledge continues to provide ongoing support and guidance, allowing us to expand our knowledge and continue to meet and exceed our design and construction requirements.”
“Building Knowledge was instrumental in helping us develop, implement and maintain an SB12 Performance Compliance Path method for our homes. They understood our unique construction methods, our budgets and our desire to provide our homeowners with a very efficient home that would stand the test of time. They are a key part of every Quality Home we build and have been fantastic to work with.”
“The team members at Building Knowledge are industry-leading experts in the field of building science. We constantly rely on their experience and advice to improve the overall performance of our homes.”
“We rely on Building Knowledge for all commissioning and verification of all Great Gulf low-rise projects. This includes all airtightness testing and all pre-development energy modelling on drawings for permits. Building Knowledge also provides in-house training for service, sales staff, and construction on the benefits of how to build, sell and service energy-efficient homes.”
“The team at Building Knowledge has been instrumental in helping Activa create our strategy to plan, build and market our energy-optimized homes. The results with our customers have been immediate, they see the quality and comfort these homes offer, and they are proud to be part of the movement towards responsible climate positive homeownership.”
