An Exciting Evolution for Solterre Design’s Green Building Consulting and Equilibrium Engineering

For over three decades, Solterre Design has been defined by a commitment to "better, not bigger," focusing on high-performance design and environmental stewardship. As the landscape of sustainable building becomes increasingly complex, we are evolving to better serve your project needs.

We are pleased to announce that Solterre’s green building consulting team has merged with Equilibrium Engineering, a Nova Scotian consulting firm founded by William Marshall, P. Eng.

A Strategic Union of Expertise

By integrating our green building specialists with Equilibrium’s leaders in energy conservation and mechanical engineering, we are providing our clients with:

• Ongoing Green Building consulting/facilitation: LEED, Green Globes, and Zero Carbon Building certification to name a few.

• Enhanced Energy Modelling: Deeper technical resources for Passive House, LEED, and Zero Carbon Building certifications.

• Holistic Technical Oversight: A seamless bridge between environmental consulting and mechanical/electrical engineering.

• Operational Excellence: Advanced strategies for deep energy retrofits and renewable energy integration.

What Stays the Same?

Your primary point of contact and the personalized attention you receive will not change. Keith Robertson and his team will continue to lead your projects, with the benefit of Equilibrium's larger, more technically diverse project team. The only change will be our email addresses. 

It is important to note that Solterre Design’s architectural firm will remain an independent entity, continuing to provide the award-winning, sustainable architectural services you know and trust. This merger unites Solterre’s specialized green consulting division with Equilibrium’s robust engineering team to create a comprehensive suite of technical services.
