Baldwin & McCaul is the design-build arm of Finn Projects. We take building retrofits from investment-grade audit through engineering, construction, and verified performance — as a single, accountable turnkey team. We are the first design-build Energy Performance Contract company in Canada certified under the Investor Confidence Project's Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ (IREE) program.
Established in 2012 as the construction arm of Synchronicity Projects Inc. (Finn Projects), Baldwin & McCaul combines professional engineering with hands-on construction delivery — so the firm that identifies the savings is the same firm that builds them and proves them.
Energy Performance Contracts delivered end to end — audit, design, construction, commissioning, and performance-period M&V — under a single contract with a single point of responsibility.
Investment-grade analysis, IREE™ certification, and IPMVP-compliant measurement and verification give owners and investors documented proof that projected savings become real savings.
We design and deliver conservation and demand management programs for utilities — including the $40M BizEnergySaver program for the IESO and a geotargeted direct-install pilot for BC Hydro.
Every service below is delivered by our own professional and certified team — and each one feeds the next, from first site walk to final verified savings report.
Energy survey and analysis identifying all practical measures that meet the owner's constraints and economic criteria — with savings and cost analysis, a breakdown of building energy use, O&M impacts, and a first look at capital-intensive opportunities.
The rigorous audits required before an Energy Performance Contract can be developed. In-depth data gathering, field measurement, and sub-metering of major systems produce measure-by-measure retrofit plans with capital costs, utility reductions, savings, and incentives — accurate enough for major capital decisions.
Turnkey EPC retrofits delivered for the Toronto Atmospheric Fund and Efficiency Capital under the Energy Savings Performance Agreement (ESPA) program. Every completed performance project has exceeded its energy and water savings targets.
We develop the Investor Confidence Project's Energy Performance Protocols for Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ certification — baseline regressions, engineering savings calculations, and energy modelling, plus the OPV, OM&M, and IPMVP-based M&V plans that govern the performance period.
Whole-building simulation in eQUEST® and RETScreen®, built from architectural and mechanical drawings, condition assessments, audits, and BAS control sequences. Modelling the proposed measures together captures system interactions — for conventional efficiency and renewable measures alike.
Energy and water baselines built in Metrix™ utility accounting software and RETScreen®, using multi-linear regression across up to four variables (CDD, HDD, operating hours, occupancy). The same baselines set audit savings targets and later verify achieved savings and GHG reductions — consistent with IPMVP Core Concepts, benchmarked against NEUD and ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager.
Building envelope diagnostics with our FLIR E8 high-resolution thermal camera (320 × 240 IR resolution). We scan walls, doors, windows, and roofs from outside — and from inside the units, where cold spots pinpoint envelope issues most accurately — ideally at night or just before dawn.
Installation of real-time metering and submetering for hydro, gas, and water, with data delivered through a secure web portal — enabling quick troubleshooting and continuous visibility into how your buildings actually use energy.
Because we audit, design, build, and verify under one roof, there's no gap between the firm that promises the savings and the firm that delivers them.
An ASHRAE Level 3 audit establishes the baseline, the retrofit plan, and the savings targets — with the accuracy required for capital investment decisions.
Our engineers design the measures, model system interactions, and structure the performance contract — with IREE™ certification available for investor confidence.
We deliver the retrofit turnkey, managing trades and commissioning against the Operational Performance Verification plan.
Through the performance period, IPMVP-based M&V and the OM&M plan keep savings on target — and document that they stay there.
Completed design-build EPC retrofits delivered for the Toronto Atmospheric Fund and Efficiency Capital's ESPA program.
All of these performance projects have exceeded their energy and water savings targets. The WoodGreen portfolio — eight multi-residential buildings — carries Investor Ready Energy Efficiency™ certification from the Investor Confidence Project.
We partner with Guidehouse Canada to design and implement conservation and demand management programs for utilities — combining engineering rigour with direct-install delivery capacity.
A $40 million direct-install electrical demand reduction program, won through a competitive IESO RFP with Guidehouse Canada. BizEnergySaver offers instant discounts on energy-saving upgrades — LED lighting, adaptive lighting controls, and variable frequency drives — for industrial, commercial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings.
A geotargeted direct-install pilot delivered with Guidehouse Canada for BC Hydro, offering incentives to commercial, government, institutional, industrial, and multi-residential buildings for energy efficiency retrofits including lighting, VFDs, and demand response.
Our custom, cloud-based platform runs our program delivery end to end. DISCS serves as CRM, assessment tool, and tracking platform on a single system with encrypted access — it powers both IESO's BizEnergySaver and BC Hydro's BEDI in the field today.
One platform means one source of truth: from first inquiry to final invoice, every project record lives in one place, for our team, our contractors, and our program partners.
