TORONTO - s4story -- We'll Move the Needle: Canada wastes $44.6 billion annually on building energy inefficiency—more per capita than any country on Earth. Despite decades of voluntary standards, expensive certifications, and complex modelling software, the performance gap between modelled and actual building energy use can vary by an incredibly wide margin. Most energy modelling happens too late in the process to meaningfully impact design, costs tens of thousands of dollars, and rarely validates predictions against real-world performance. The result? Buildings that underperform, owners who overpay, and a climate crisis that needlessly accelerates. It's time for something different.

Enter OBJECTIVE: Early, Easy, Fast, Free, and Accurate. OBJECTIVE is Canada's first free, open-source, web-based building energy and carbon modelling tool designed specifically for early-stage decision-making—before contracts are even signed, before detailed designs are half-baked, even at the RFP stage you can develop an OBJECTIVE model. Model early, when it matters most. Built by architects and engineers aiming for wider adoption of Building-as-a-System thinking, OBJECTIVE delivers professional-grade energy analysis in minutes with accuracy that closes the performance gap to under 5%* of actual utility bills—a feat unmatched by complex, dynamic proprietary software costing thousands of dollars. *based on our case studies Free to use. No signup. No passwords. 100% privacy. A sample building is loaded for you and is ready to modify.

The Bottom Line: Canada's buildings waste 297 TWh annually—enough to power the entire residential sector twice over. Every architect, engineer, and building owner has the tools they need to cut that waste by 50-90% using proven, cost-effective strategies. The only question is: will you be part of the solution? OBJECTIVE: Early stage. Accurate. Free. Open source. Built on integrity.
