The Goal of the DRAI program
1
RETScreen Compliant Energy Modeling
RETScreen software helps determine if a proposed energy project makes technical and financial sense. Whether for commercial and institutional buildings this is the software that the Federal Government utilizes to determine if a project is viable. With this in place access to Federal and Provincial grants are readily accessible.
2
Thorough and Accurate Energy Audits
Buildings which make it to the Energy Audit process will have that information available and valid for 5 years. This information is vital to a community to better understand where community resources need to be invested. It also is the benchmark for what buildings can benefit the most from DRAI and help determine which asset receives the Engineered Drawings.
3
Education & Sustainability
Through the Four Winds & Associates led Green Buffalo, Indigenous Students and employees are being provided the necessary skills and education to be a part of the Green Economy. This commitment to building a sustainable project and provide training to our people for our future generations, which will help ensure a greener future.
