OUR STORY

Quantify Environmental Ltd. was founded by Dave Fox and Tom Ulanowski. Throughout our careers, we realized that humanity has some daunting environmental problems that we are compounding with our inefficient and wasteful use of utilities – such as water, electricity, and natural gas – and outdated manufacturing practices that contribute to significant losses of both raw ingredients and finished products.

We have seen firsthand that Canada’s manufacturing centres are losing their competitive edge, as they are slow to acknowledge and apply new powerful technologies that can provide them with valuable process metrics. With constrained work forces, we also know that there is a lack of internal capacity to dedicate staff to lucrative sustainability projects. Quantify Environmental takes on the role of your in-house sustainability and efficiency specialists.

We have learned that a successfully implemented sustainability project is driven by trustworthy and continuous data steams combined with novel ideas and good communications skills. Quantify Environmental specializes not only in identifying and communicating your best, most competitive efficiency projects, but also following through with coaching and implementation.   

With an unprecedented amount of visibility to electrical and water utility streams, Quantify Environmental works to make sure your facility is connected, competitive, and happy.  We started Quantify Environmental to work directly with manufacturers to provide them with real-time insights of their utility use and process inefficiencies. We are excited to work with your team and share our creative ideas to lower your operating costs, achieve your sustainability goals and make you more competitive.
