About Us

What We Do

Robert is our cheerleader. Always there to offer encouragement, this student of biology and environmental science reminds us to respect our planet’s fragile ecosystem. Robert’s experience and connection to nature brings a different point of view on energy efficiency and what it could look like for future generations.

His years of experience with energy simulations, estimating, and energy modelling quality assurance has fine-tuned his ability to see discrepancies at a glance. This insight enables us to hold our team’s work to a high standard, helping us all to succeed.

Robert, just like a sea turtle, is the one who brings peace, patience, and harmony to the team.

Paul is a “deep thinker” and always has something constructive to share. He processes information the same way he savours his favorite scotch. Light hearted and always up for a good laugh, we can all lean on Paul to find the silver lining.  

His people management skills have been evident throughout his extensive experience in project management and dispute resolution. Working with building envelope issues for a large part of his career has made him a natural troubleshooter.  Blending his understanding of building envelope best practices with energy efficiency makes Paul a valuable asset to any new build or renovation project.

Paul is the humble “wise man” of the group.

Darren is a problem-solver at his core. No matter the difficulty, his flexible thinking allows him to find a solution. Reliable and steadfast, all team members know they can rely on Darren for anything, from technical to internal operations inquiries. Darren finds much joy in constantly optimizing the layout of his workstation and Aerobarrier trailer, enabling his unique ability to shift gears at a moment’s notice, while keeping a clear path of execution on the task ahead.

Having spent most of his career in management for large retail stores, he can handle a large volume of small requests without breaking a sweat. These skills are a perfect match with the application of Aerobarrier on new and existing buildings. Planning ahead and being able to quickly adapt in ever changing environments makes Darren exceptionally skilled at Aerobarrier applications.

Darren is the helping hand of the team.

Revolve Engineering Inc. is an Alberta based design collective providing sustainable mechanical system designs, energy consulting and energy modelling for commercial clients. We believe all buildings should be designed with sustainability as a priority and we use that belief as a guiding principle in everything we do. While our background includes traditional HVAC design, we focus only on renewable systems and high performance buildings. Our expertise in both traditional and renewable systems however allows us to understand and integrate renewable systems into almost any existing or traditional building design. Our experience in green building design, as well as traditional HVAC and energy modelling, gives us a unique look at how each building component affects the other. We use this unique perspective to influence the design and optimization of the building, helping our clients reach their energy targets.
