New Energy Advisor in Kitchener-Waterloo: Jason Cheng

“I grew up in the Greater Toronto Area and studied at McGill University for my Bachelor of Science.  I started my professional career in the telecommunications sector in Montreal; providing technical support and account management for unified communication products for 8 years.  I later moved back to the GTA in 2017 and worked for Rogers Communications, also in a technical support role for residential cable services for the past 4 years.

I decided earlier this year to make a career change, more in line with my studies, passions, and interests.  I’ve always been inspired by the work of climate action leaders like David Suzuki, David Attenborough, Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, and alike. After discovering the role of an energy advisor, I started studying and passed both exams, traveled to Chicago to see the Energy Revolution exhibit at the Chicago Architecture Centre, listened to countless webinars from Efficiency Canada (Carleton University), Building Knowledge Canada, and reading publications related to our industry. Most recently, I’ve joined and volunteered time with a local climate change action group in my community and lobbied our government for more aggressive targets on emissions caps on the oil and gas industry.

In my personal time, I enjoy traveling, spending time in nature, and being active. That includes over two decades of camping experience around Ontario’s provincial parks, the Muskoka and Kawartha regions, and have been playing golf for the past 6 years. In 2016, I went backpacking across Southeast Asia for 6 months, covering Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Taiwan and I’m currently a certified advanced open-water diver with PADI with hopes to pursue further certification in the future.”

Watercolour Westport

Over the Labour Day Weekend in 2021, the Homesol Building Solutions team was at the grand unveiling of Canada’s first Net-Zero community in Westport, Ontario. The community is called Watercolour Westport being built by Landark Homes. We have been working closely with Landark since even before ground broke on this first-of-its-kind community in Canada.

Homesol’s Contribution

Homesol is Landark’s net-zero energy advisor. We’ve been helping Landark since the inception of this community. We’ve been consulting with them on the performance aspects and the building science aspects of designing the house from insulation levels to airtightness details to mechanical specs.

We also performed the airtightness testing of the homes, and we do that in a couple of stages. We do that first at mid-construction, and when the house is being built and the air barriers complete. We’ll come in and do an air test just to make sure that the airtightness target is being met before it gets covered up. If it’s not being met, then we help find the leaks and suggest ways of sealing them.

Then we come back in at the final stage to do the final inspection to verify that all the mechanicals that were supposed to be installed are installed. And then we do another final air test. And that’s what we put into the energy model for the label.
