geothermal installations, for instance, or specialities such as in-house lighting
design, to help them understand the benefits of these energy saving measures.”
Stirling Walkes, Director
“A recent point of interest and training has
been the greening of existing buildings,”
says Stirling. With due diligence, which in-
cludes an energy audit and system anal-
ysis, SMS is able to implement the right
technologies, practices, and controls in or-

Heating and cooling systems are priorities

very large downtown building, the Rich-
ardson building,” says Walkes. “By putting
in a condensing boiler system, the client
reduced their carbon foot print consider-
ably.”
“In the case of the Richardson Building,
an energy audit was completed,” saysWal-
kes. “We have been working there for a
number of years, so we were best situ-
ated to do the installation and integration
of the new systems. On the mechanical
side of things, we checked the air systems
to see if they are doing constant volume
