We facilitate and manage the LEED certification process in a proactive, strategic and systemized way. Our experience with over 200 LEED projects covers all Rating Systems, including LEED-NC, LEED-CI, LEED-CS, LEED-EB:O&M, LEED-ND, and LEED for Homes.

As Certified Passive House consultants, we can explore the feasibility of Passive House for your project as well as full-service certification.

The Living Building Challenge is a philosophy, advocacy tool and certification program that promotes the most advanced measurement of sustainability in the built environment possible today. Recollective has proven experience consulting on the largest Living Building (pending certification) in the world, the Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence. As an early pioneer in LBC, we understand its complexity and can translate it into a cost-effective and successful design solution.

Recollective consultants have successfully managed a wide range of projects through rezoning application process with the City of Vancouver to meet the Green Building Policy. Whether it is Low Emissions Building or Near Zero Emissions Building, we help your project meet the sustainability requirements and get the Urban Design Panel’s support.

Human health and wellbeing is an important part of built-environment sustainability. Recollective offers a wide range of health and wellness consulting services such as Well and Fitwel to improve the indoor environmntal quality of buildings, through air, water, light, fitness, comfort and mind.

Prior to embarking on a project seeking green building certification such as LEED, Living Building Challenge, Passive House, BOMA BESt or Green Globes, we can provide a cost-effective study of the likelihood of certification, along with design impacts, estimated costs and next steps.

We can provide turn-key solutions for getting your project cost-effectively through the BC Step Code

Sefaira is a simulation tool that is uniquely intended for the conceptual design phase of a project.  By using Sefaira, we are able to rapidly estimate, compare and optimize the energy, carbon and financial implications of relevant design strategies. This allows the team to balance the investment between various building strategies, maximizing capital efficiency, while minimizing energy use.

More than just a requirement of LEED certification and equivalency, energy modelling is also a very powerful tool in informing the design of a building and the cost and energy effectiveness of various energy conservation strategies. We conduct building simulations to assist design teams in analyzing cost-effective building designs, and make recommendations to improve building performance in terms of energy, thermal comfort, daylighting, and natural and mechanical ventilation.

We are proficient in conducting embodied carbon analysis and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). LCA allows teams to identify the environmental impact of various building design options and reduce the carbon footprint of developments.

Our expert green building strategists will help your project achieve zero carbon emission through CaGBC’s Zero Carbon Building Standard. It is Canada’s first green building program to make carbon emissions the key indicator for building performance. This enforces the importance of energy efficiency, while also making us think carefully about the types of energy we use and encouraging more renewable energy generation both on and off the building site. We perform a zero carbon analysis for your project and provide a work plan to meet the Zero Carbon Building Standard.

Energy benchmarking is the process of tracking and recording energy performance of a building over time. To manage energy consumption of a building, it must be measured first. The energy performance data can help building owners and property managers to identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

We are known in the industry for our creative, high energy, results-oriented and fun approach to charrette design and facilitation. Whether its for a program, a product, a building, a community, or an experience, our innovative approach brings stakeholders together in a collaborative environment to co-create clever and practical sustainable design solutions with clear next steps.

We are experts in master planning and sustainable urban development and have worked on development and redevelopment of more than 100 acres of large sites across Metro Vancouver.

As faculty members of the Canada Green Building Council and UBC, we are qualified to instruct LEED Education Workshops for your organization.

Want to build your LEED consulting capacity in-house, as well as reduce the cost of the learning curve? We can help you. As LEED experts with many years of experience, we can mentor your staff through one-on-one sessions, peer-reviews, and tools and resources we’ve developed that will greatly speed up the learning curve and save you money.

Corporate sustainability is an approach aiming to create long-term stakeholder value through the implementation of an environmental friendly strategy for doing business. The strategies created are intended to foster longevity, transparency and highlight coropotate’s climate action plans. We can help your organization with assessment, benchmarking, development, monitoing and improvement of a custom made plan and roadmap.

Increasingly governments and NGO’s are introducing incentive funds to encourage more green development. We are aware of these funds and can help you get “free money” for your green developments.
