Building a more sustainable future in manufacturing
Planning and Design
In continual collaboration with the design team and client, we identify the long-term cost benefits of sustainable options, while meeting project targets and budgets.
Life-cycle Cost Analysis
We work with clients to incorporate renewable energy and passive systems to help achieve zero net-energy consumption. These systems include on-site solar, energy storage, battery walls, geo-exchange, geothermal heating and cooling systems, cogeneration and district energy systems.
Incorporate Renewable Energy
From low-carbon steel and concrete to FSC-certified wood and recycled materials, the use of eco-friendly inputs reduces embodied carbon and environmental impacts.
Sustainable Materials
PCL’s in-house experts in sustainability, building envelope engineering, building systems engineering, advanced technology, lean methods and data analytics ensure a process informed by experience and technology.
The Right People
Construction
PCL’s proprietary Job Site Insights™ is a smart construction risk management ecosystem that captures real-time data via smart IoT sensors. It drives construction efficiency, speeds up schedules and increases safety, productivity and quality.
Measure Everything
Our experts bring a deep understanding of building envelope performance, HVAC efficiency and how best to implement practical and tested solutions that will result in savings to the building owner.
High-performance Systems
Managing the supply chain with sustainability in mind involves sourcing materials responsibly, reducing transportation emissions, and ensuring ethical and fair labor practices.
Supply Chain Management
Sustainable manufacturing aims to minimize waste, energy consumption and the use of raw materials. Off-site, modular construction – done in a controlled environment – helps in all these areas and results in a superior product, too.
Modular Construction
Handover and Operation
We leverage building systems, IoT sensors and more to inform the progression of energy models, audits and carbon roadmaps.
Continuous Improvement
PCL can identify and prioritize the KPIs targeted by project certifications (LEED, Passive House, etc.)
Certifications
With your operators expertly trained and energy data flowing, we help clients transition to efficient, effective operations.
Operations Excellence
PCL facilitates conversations about the flow of performance metrics to help digitize client Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts and works to demystify client reporting.
