BMAC has been retained as the Building Envelope and Energy Consultant for the Mercato Plaza development, an innovative mixed-use project featuring two 5-storey buildings over a shared parkade level. This complex development combines commercial retail units (CRUs), townhomes, and condominiums, presenting unique envelope challenges across multiple occupancy types.

From the project’s inception, we have been involved in perfecting the envelope design, focusing on critical details such as below-grade waterproofing, air-barrier continuity, and thermal break solutions throughout the structure. Our energy modeling has been instrumental in optimizing the building’s performance to meet BC Energy Step Code requirements while maintaining architectural intent. This landmark development exemplifies our expertise in delivering high-performance envelope solutions for complex, mixed-use projects in the Metro Vancouver region.
