Building Assessments and Climate Resilience Planning

Energy, Climate Resilience & Building Assessments

Client: Columbia Basin Trust
Location: Columbia Basin, British Columbia
Project Period: June 2026 – March 2027

Project Overview

Columbia Basin Trust engaged ASI Engineering to provide professional advisory and engineering services for community-serving buildings owned or operated by non-profits and/or First Nations.

The program focuses on improving energy sustainability, climate resilience and emergency readiness while identifying practical opportunities to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.

ASI Engineering’s Role

ASI provides a multidisciplinary approach combining:

‍

• Building, mechanical and electrical assessments
• Climate risk and resilience evaluations
• Energy-use analysis
• Renewable energy opportunities
• GHG reduction strategies
• Emergency and backup-power planning
• Cost estimates and ROI analysis

From Assessment to Action

ASI evaluates each facility to identify opportunities that can improve building performance, resilience and long-term sustainability.

Our Approach

Assess
Evaluate buildings, systems, energy use and climate-related risks.

Identify
Find opportunities for energy savings, renewable energy, GHG reductions, climate adaptation and emergency readiness.

Evaluate
Develop cost estimates, potential energy savings, GHG reductions and ROI where applicable.

Recommend
Deliver a Building Assessment Report with clear technical recommendations to support future investment decisions.

Project Goal

Help Columbia Basin Trust make informed investments that create more efficient, resilient and emergency-ready community buildings.

Better data. Practical recommendations. More resilient communities.
