Welcome to Canadensis.

ABOUT CANADENSIS
Understanding Your Building Is the First Step Toward Improving It
The buildings where we live and work have a direct impact on
our health, comfort and energy use. Canadensis provides
independent testing, evaluation and consulting services to help
Canadians better understand their buildings and make informed
decisions about improving them.
OUR SERVICES
Better Information. Better Buildings.
From invisible health risks to energy performance, we help
identify what is happening inside your building and what you
can do about it.
Radon Testing
Radon is an invisible, odourless radioactive gas that can
accumulate inside Canadian homes and buildings. Professional
testing is the only way to know your exposure level.
Energy Evaluations
Understand where your building uses and loses energy.
Professional evaluations can identify opportunities to improve
comfort, efficiency and building performance.
Building Consulting
Independent, science-based guidance for homeowners,
organizations and building professionals working to create
healthier and better-performing spaces.
BUILDING HEALTH
Your Building Is a System
Air quality, moisture, ventilation, insulation and energy use
don’t exist independently. They interact.
A change intended to solve one problem can sometimes create
another. Canadensis approaches buildings as complete systems,
helping identify the relationships between health, comfort,
durability and energy performance.
- Indoor environmental health
- Radon exposure
- Ventilation and air movement
- Energy use and heat loss
- Moisture and building durability
RADON IN CANADA
You Can’t See Radon.
You Can’t Smell It.
You Can Test for It.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter
buildings through contact with the ground. Long-term exposure
increases the risk of lung cancer.
Because radon levels can vary significantly from one building
to another, testing is the only way to determine the radon
concentration in your home or workplace.
