OUR HISTORY
BES was founded in response to increasing market demands for facility cost savings and energy efficiency. Today, BES specializes in assisting clients with positioning sustainable energy and facility management as a strategic business driver and as a mechanism to achieve real cost-saving solutions.
Founded in 2011, as BES Canada, we began with a clear purpose: to deliver innovative, energy-efficient building solutions that support a more sustainable future. In just one year, we became approved consulting engineers with both BC Hydro and FortisBC, laying the groundwork for a strong reputation in energy consulting and performance-driven design.
By 2013, our growing team moved into our first dedicated office space, and by 2014, we had doubled in size, driven by increasing demand for our services. Our ability to deliver measurable value was clear: by the end of 2013, we had helped clients secure over $1 million in utility incentives, a figure that grew to $10 million by 2016.
As our capabilities and client base expanded, so did our footprint. In 2018, we relocated to a larger office to accommodate our continued growth. By 2022, BES had grown to a team of more than 12 energy specialists and engineers, prompting a move to our current Vancouver headquarters — a space that reflects our commitment to collaboration, innovation, and sustainability.
From our early days to now, our growth has been guided by our core values and our mission to deliver intelligent, impactful solutions that benefit both people and planet. In 2025, we expanded with an international presence in Ireland. With projects across North America and Europe, BES continues to lead with expertise, integrity, and purpose.
