What We Do

Specialist engineering services for new construction and retrofit — from code compliance to whole-building performance.

Energy Modelling & Code Compliance

Whole-building dynamic energy simulation for new construction and retrofit projects. We model and verify compliance under all BC and national energy codes.

VBBL STEP Code NECB ASHRAE 90.1 LEED

3D Thermal Bridging & FEA Simulation

3D finite element analysis of building assemblies and envelope components — thermal bridging calculations, effective R-value determination, and condensation risk assessment.

FEA Thermal Bridging 3D Simulation

Thermographic Inspection (IR Camera)

Infrared thermal imaging of building envelopes to identify and document heat loss, air leakage pathways, moisture intrusion, and insulation deficiencies — non-invasive and highly diagnostic.

IR Camera Thermography Diagnostics

Hygrothermal Analysis

Building enclosure hygrothermal analysis for moisture management, vapour control, and long-term assembly durability — wall, roof, and foundation systems.

Hygrothermal Enclosure Moisture

Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)

Whole-life carbon and cost analysis to understand long-term environmental and financial performance of materials, systems, and design alternatives.

LCA Embodied Carbon Whole-Life Cost

Climate Resiliency Studies

Assessment of building vulnerability and adaptation strategies for future climate scenarios — overheating, extreme weather, and long-term performance under changing conditions.

AYM Engineering Ltd.

A specialist building sustainability consultancy based in Coquitlam, BC — engineering-led, research-informed.

AYM Engineering Ltd. is a specialist consultancy focused on building sustainability — combining deep technical expertise with a rigorous, evidence-based approach honed over a decade of BC project delivery.

We work with architects, developers, contractors, and building owners across British Columbia — from early-stage feasibility and design support through to code compliance modelling, performance verification, and thermographic inspection.

Our expertise spans the full spectrum of BC energy codes and sustainability standards: VBBL, STEP Code, NECB, ASHRAE 90.1, and LEED — giving clients a single trusted partner for energy performance across all project types.

AYM was founded by Dr. Mehran Ahmadi, P.Eng., MBA — an EGBC-registered professional engineer and Lecturer at SFU's School of Sustainable Energy Engineering. That dual grounding in practice and academia means our work is always current with both regulatory requirements and evolving best practice.
