Air Solutions Inc. was incorporated in Ontario on December 1, 1986, with Gord and Linda Cooke as Principals, and acted primarily as a sales agency in the HVAC industry specializing in ventilation products. Our primary line was, and continues to be vanEE Heat Recovery Ventilators. Gord had been the Plant Manager for the manufacturer in Saskatoon before moving back to Ontario and setting up the agency to become their representative.
Over the next ten years the product line grew to include fans, flex, air cleaners, air testing equipment, and commercial HRV's. Additional sales reps were hired to cover the province, as well as inside sales administration. As new opportunities arose in the building industry marketplace, Air Solutions Inc. diversified and became R-2000 evaluators and proponents of energy efficiency products and building practices.
As an added service to our sales customers, Gord began to do contractor and builder training covering topics such as indoor air quality, advanced mechanicals, building science and sales and marketing. This value-added service evolved over the next 10 years into a full-time training and consulting division servicing the building industry in Canada and the USA.
Our Builder Services Division grew from our R-2000 roots as we expanded into new leading-edge building programs such as EnerGuide for New Homes, ENERGY STAR, LEED and Building Canada. In March 2009, this builder Services and Consulting division was separated from Air Solutions and incorporated as Building Knowledge Canada Inc., to better reflect the focus of both companies. Strat Padazis became a full partner and VP Sales for Air Solutions Inc. in May 2009.
Both companies continue to share resources and office space allowing us to continue to grow and serve the building industry from one location.
