6.1 Involve a thermal engineering firm from the outset
This engineering firm can conduct a detailed energy audit of the building(s). It identifies areas of heat loss, proposes appropriate technical solutions, and verifies regulatory compliance. It can also model future gains (energy, CO 2 , ROI, etc.), which is useful for making informed decisions and putting together grant applications.
