TRAK Canada won the Natural Resources Canada award for the most energy-efficient building in Canada, the Northwood Lodge Home for The Aged in Red Lake, Ontario.

 

TRAK relocated to Burlington, Ontario for family reasons and, using what had been learned in the public sector in Northern Ontario to develop a program that would fund the provision of energy-efficient retrofits based on win-win cash flow agreements. While the business model and technical methods are sound, the partnership entered at the time proved to be incompatible.

 

TRAK then was called upon to design and provide the geoexchange and controls for a major 236-unit resort project in Kelowna, British Columbia. The energy-efficient and environmentally beneficial project does not use any natural gas and according to Natural Resources Canada was modelled to be the most energy-efficient multi-residential project that year.

 

Afterward, TRAK relocated to Kelowna and specialized in the design/build of mechanical systems for resorts and multi-residential buildings primarily in British Columbia, Canada. Complementary companies under the umbrella name TRAK Canada were formed to provide special manufacturing of large, hydronic heat pump modules, energy transfer devices, control devices and provide the overall construction for our projects. TRAK’s focus on high-quality, centralized GeoExchange-based heating and cooling systems resulted in numerous awards and earned TRAK the recognition as a leader in this modern HVAC/R technology. With up to 60+ employees, TRAK was locally nominated, and a panel of business experts judged TRAK as a finalist for large business of the year.
