Steve Thornton, P.Eng.

Steve has 10 years of engineering and project management experience.  Since well before becoming a licenced professional engineer, in early 2015, he has focused on delivering a comprehensive design strategy for energy systems (HVAC, electrical, and plumbing) and site services (grading, drainage, septic, foundations, and roads) for buildings.  Including complex renovating, code compliance, and energy projects for existing facilities, as well as premium design for new buildings.

Taking a year off from undergraduate to complete an internship in a competitive business environment providing good customer service and technical analysis for large heating and cooling water processes in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities, has kept Steve focused on energy management ever since.  Next, his career grew by expanding into renewable energy construction, designing and building solar arrays across Ontario, with customer service and project delivery as top priorities.

From there he continued with a multi-disciplinary approach for all building services, and energy efficient design balancing project costs, and has completed a number of buildings from new, change of use, and retrofit. With the balance of practical experience and engineering certifications, Steve provides a complete technical service to his clients in their energy engineering needs.
