## Sustainability story

As a leader in green, energy-efficient building systems, Falcon Engineering is dedicated to providing sustainable energy engineering to meet our client’s needs, and our consulting teams bring skill sets that are unique amongst engineering firms. Our experience with district energy systems, low carbon heating systems, heat recovery systems, solar photovoltaic and renewable energy generation provide a unique range of energy-efficient design options that can be tailored to our client’s projects. Drawing on our extensive portfolio of successful projects, we work closely with our clients and design teams to achieve innovative and sustainable solutions rooted in established engineering principles. 

Since its inception, Falcon Engineering has been dedicated to providing efficient, cost-effective solutions to our clients. We have always encouraged going above and beyond Code and Regulatory baselines by showing clients not only the environmental benefits but also the economic payback over the investment of the systems. We have been fortunate to work with progressive forward-thinking clients that have seen the value in these systems, and have been part of projects that set the benchmark for low energy consumption in their respective sectors. As a firm, we wanted to look internally and see what changes we could make to demonstrate our commitment – and not just talk, but walk too!

## Emissions (2024)

**Methodology:** Falcon Engineering's emissions inventory uses a mix of spending and activity-based data. Falcon Engineering attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 7 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 3 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 148 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 0 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 158 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Custom — million dollars of construction designed
