Centre for Advanced Building Envelope Research (CABER)
Project Type: Electrical Contracting
About This Project

Located on Natural Resource Canada’s CanmetENERGY campus in Bells Corners, the Centre for Advanced Building Envelope Research (CABER) is dedicated to studying and improving building efficiency.
CABER acts as a laboratory for researchers to study how heat, air, and moisture move through materials and highly insulated wall systems, contributing to energy loss. This is an important area for the construction, manufacturing, and renovation industries that will play a pivotal role in net-zero and energy retrofit solutions for buildings.
Alliance performed the electrical construction for the building which also houses state-of-the-art equipment, including a two-storey guarded hot box and climate chamber (to simulate indoor and outdoor conditions), a two-storey pressurized spray rack, and in-situ wall openings for comparative sample analysis. The building also houses a 16-tonne crane that moves the samples from one station to another.
We’ve Been Building For Over 15 Years!
We have a wealth of experience across the commercial, institutional and high-rise residential sectors and have completed projects that range from $10K to $10M. We go beyond successful project delivery because we understand it's about delivering a vision and creating a legacy.
