ABOUT JUHI BHOWAL
Juhi is a Building Performance and Sustainability Specialist with over seven years of international experience shaping high-performance, low-carbon buildings across Canada, the UK, and India. She is recognized for her ability to integrate advanced energy modelling, building physics, mechanical system insight, and strategic sustainability leadership into projects that demand both technical rigour and design intelligence.Widely regarded for her depth in simulation, Juhi brings mastery of IES-VE, Energy Plus, NECB/OBC, ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G, and leading UK frameworks including Part L, Part O, TM52, and TM59. Her expertise spans whole-building performance, HVAC load analysis, thermal comfort, natural ventilation, daylighting, microclimate assessment, and data-driven evaluation of carbon and energy outcomes across entire asset lifecycles.Her portfolio covers 100+ projects, including commercial towers, residential developments, healthcare facilities, industrial assets, campus buildings, and complex retrofits. As a BREEAM Accredited Professional, she brings senior-level knowledge in LEED, WELL, CaGBC Zero Carbon, BREEAM, NABERS UK, IGBC, GRIHA and GEM, alongside capabilities in Whole Life Carbon (WLC), LCA (Mat 01), MAT 05/06, circular economy, and ESG reporting.Juhi is known for her rare ability to translate highly technical modelling outputs into clear, actionable guidance that supports architects, mechanical engineers, planners, and clients in making confident, performance-led decisions. She has contributed to decarbonization pathways aligned with CRREM and GRESB, conducted solar PV feasibility studies, designed electrification strategies, and developed carbon accounting frameworks for SMEs and large organizations.Her background in architecture, combined with hands-on engineering collaboration and cross-cultural project delivery, enables her to operate comfortably at the intersection of design vision, technical performance, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability strategy. She has also led teams of up to 44 professionals, delivered CPDs and workshops, and supported bid submissions for major frameworks.Juhi’s professional focus is on advancing climate-resilient, net-zero, and future-ready buildings, while expanding her impact within organizations that value technical excellence, innovation, and measurable sustainability outcomes. She is committed to roles that leverage her modelling depth, strategic thinking, and leadership potential within the Canadian building performance and sustainability sector.
