Pick the building that keeps showing up in winter gas bills, open windows, or cold calls.
PENGAby GlacialRift
For older Alberta hydronic apartments
Find the heat your building is wasting.
PENGA helps owners of older hydronic apartments understand why a building is expensive to heat, overheats, or draws winter complaints. Bring the facts already close to the problem: gas history, current controls, winter symptoms, and the person who knows the boiler room.
Gas history
Winter complaints
Boiler-room context
Before a controls project or BAS retrofit, find out whether the winter pattern is real.
An operator or contractor can name the exceptions the data will miss.
The first look is about the building's behaviour, not changing setpoints.
Who this is for
Bring the building that keeps making winter expensive.
The best first conversation is concrete: a building you already suspect, a winter problem you can name, and someone close enough to the boiler room to confirm what is really happening.
Private owner-operators
Owners who know which building runs hot, costs too much, or still produces cold-suite risk.
Family offices and holdcos
Asset leads weighing gas cost, tenant comfort, and whether a controls project deserves capital.
Owner-managed PM firms
Teams close enough to the portfolio to name the buildings that run hot or complain cold.
Operators and contractors
The people who can tell whether the pattern matches the plant and where changes could get awkward.
Why it matters
The coldest suites set the floor. The overheated suites show the waste.
Older hydronic buildings are often kept hot because cold calls are worse than high gas bills. PENGA looks for the difference between heat the building needs and heat the owner may be paying to waste.
How it works
See what the building is doing before you decide what to change.
PENGA looks at utility history, weather, plant context, and comfort risk together so the owner can separate a real control opportunity from noise, weak data, or a building that is better left alone.
Name the building
Age, units, hydronic plant, current controls, winter gas pressure, overheating, and cold calls.
Read the building
Use approved utility history, weather, plant context, and operator input before drawing conclusions.
Separate signal from noise
Look for heat-waste patterns without burying cold-suite risk or weak data quality.
Decide what comes next
Stop, gather better data, tune conventionally, or prepare a controls conversation with the right people involved.
What the owner gets
A plain-English brief for the building in question.
The useful output is not a generic audit. It is a building-specific view of heat waste, comfort risk, data quality, operator context, and the next responsible step.
Building opportunity brief
What the owner can act on
Gas, weather, and plant record
Utility history and cold periods are checked against the building's operating context so savings talk stays tied to the record.

Next move
Whether the building needs better data, conventional tuning, a controls conversation, or no further work.
Trust chain
The owner chooses the building. The plant people keep the story honest.
A useful review makes sense to the owner, the person who knows the boiler room, and anyone asked to support the next decision.
Owners and asset managers
Choose the first building to check
For the person who can share gas history and approve a practical first look.
Operators Bring the boiler-room viewFor power engineers, building operators, and site teams who know what the model could miss.
Mechanical and controls contractors Refer or pressure-test the workFor trusted trades who see which buildings run hot, lack visibility, or would be awkward to touch.
Funders and connectors Support useful proofFor programs and advisors that can help turn building access into proof an owner can use.
Introductions Send the person closest to the buildingFor association, utility, retrofit, and real-estate contacts who can make one useful introduction.
