Albert champions the use of sustainable solutions in all his projects and has extensive expertise in Sustainable Master Planning (SMP), which includes district/renewable energy analysis, passive building design, modeling building energy usage, thermal comfort and indoor air quality conditions. He has a wide range of experience in Canada, USA, and Asia including the SMP for several university campuses, and consulting services for mixed-used developments in North America and Asia. Albert brings not only technical expertise but recognizes the importance of business case and value analysis.As a LEED Accredited Professional, Albert has performed reviews for the USGBC and CaGBC on projects applying for LEED certification. He previously sat on the City of Vancouver Urban Design Panel – only the second mechanical engineer to serve in
this capacity. In addition, Albert has been invited to deliver over 200 presentations and has been a keynote speaker on sustainable building design, SMP and the “Net-Zero” approach in Canada, the US, and Asia and has volunteered to educate elementary school children on climate change. He was one of the first people who presented on Net-Zero Building design at the Greenbuild Conference in 2006. Albert was named as one of Building, Design and Construction’s 2007 ‘Top 40 Under 40’.Before forming Alberto Bicol Consulting Inc., Albert was a partner at Cobalt Engineering/Integral Group for 9 years. Albert spearheaded Cobalt’s leading edge Sustainable projects including several Net-Zero buildings and campus/community plans.

Can buildings be Sustainable (low energy/water consumption/costs, less greenhouse gas emissions, enhanced comfort and indoor air quality and other sustainable features), continually monitor energy consumption and optimize during operation, integrated into one simple building system instead of multiples of complex systems....all this at or below typical construction budgets with cost certainty? Yes - iSmart Building system.This is a unique delivery method that converges and synergies MEP… Show more Can buildings be Sustainable (low energy/water consumption/costs, less greenhouse gas emissions, enhanced comfort and indoor air quality and other sustainable features), continually monitor energy consumption and optimize during operation, integrated into one simple building system instead of multiples of complex systems....all this at or below typical construction budgets with cost certainty? Yes - iSmart Building system.This is a unique delivery method that converges and synergies MEP design with construction, long term operations and financing to produce solutions where everyone from developer to owner/tenant wins.iSmart Building System Ltd. (iSmart) eliminates the inefficiencies and overlaps throughout the engineering MEP design, construction, and contractor delivery processes and further optimizes the value of the building throughout its life cycle, resulting in a sustainable, high performance building that costs the same or less than a standard market building to build and operate.. iSmart will provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the mechanical and electrical systems in the building. A key feature of the iSmart solution is the incorporation of all of the building engineering systems into one simple web-based user interface for the entire building in lieu of multiple, complex and potentially conflicting systems. The iSmart system features continuous system monitoring and optimization (“Building Autopilot”) that solves the problem of high performance buildings not operating the way they have been designed. Working with iSmart, the client/owner has one company managing design, construction, long term operation, maintenance and performance. Show less
