Energy Revolution Services Ltd.

What Energy Revolution Services Ltd. does

Energy Revolution Services Ltd. is a Victoria, British Columbia-based specialist engineering consultancy founded in 2016 by Michael Pullinger after his work on the award-winning Capilano Energy Recovery Facility at Knight Piésold Consulting. The firm delivers end-to-end oversight of clean energy, hydropower, and energy-efficient facility projects from concept through commissioning, organized across three practice areas: Renewable Energy (feasibility studies, micro-grid optimization, resource mapping, and turbine engineering for wind, solar, hydro, and storage), Energy Efficient Facilities (ASHRAE-level energy audits, building energy modeling, and Net Zero planning), and Hydro and Water (system commissioning, procurement oversight, CFD, and hydraulic transient analysis).

The firm's technical stack centers on proprietary analytical tooling — notably a GIS-based renewable site screening tool and a parametric cost screening tool — layered over industry-standard simulation platforms including HOMER micro-grid modeling, RETScreen, ASHRAE methodology, computational fluid dynamics, and waterhammer analysis. Documented technical depth includes one-dimensional calibrated hydraulic flow models, turbomachinery surrogate modeling, and air-venting analysis. Deliverables encompass feasibility studies, owner's engineering, technical specifications, procurement oversight, Factory Acceptance Testing, and commissioning leadership.

The business model is professional services consulting sold on a project-by-project negotiated basis, with lead generation driven by content marketing (blog, case studies, published articles) and a free 30-minute consultation offering. Revenue is generated through engagements with renewable energy developers, building and facility owners/operators, hydropower and water utilities, First Nations communities, and government/regulatory bodies across Western Canada and broader North America. The firm operates without disclosed external funding as a privately held, founder-owned consultancy.

Core offering

Energy Revolution Services provides specialist engineering consulting and project oversight for clean energy, hydro and water, and energy efficient facility projects from concept to commissioning. Services span feasibility analysis, energy modelling and simulation, technical specifications, procurement oversight, project management, owner's engineering, and commissioning supervision for renewable energy developers, building owners, hydropower utilities, and First Nations communities.

Product overview

Energy Revolution Services is a specialist clean energy consulting firm offering a portfolio of advisory and engineering services rather than a packaged software product. The core offerings span three solution areas: Renewable Energy (feasibility studies, energy modelling, and turbine engineering for wind, solar, hydro, and storage), Energy Efficient Facilities (energy audits, building energy modelling, and commissioning), and Hydro and Water (system commissioning, procurement, and fluid dynamics/CFD analysis). Proprietary analytical tools including a GIS-based site screening tool and parametric cost screening tool support these service lines. All services are delivered from Victoria, British Columbia, with projects spanning North America.
