“We chose the right time to start this business,” Trent says. “This is a huge and growing industry. The construction world has been going berserk lately, and it just seems like there’s been no slowdown. It’s been good timing.” Today, between their two offices, Genesis works all over BC. To date, they have worked as far north as Prince George, and as far south as the border. They have bid jobs even further afield, and they have also taken on some small service jobs in Ontario and in the United States. No matter where they are working, Genesis’ service offering includes: full automation of a buildings’ mechanical and HVAC systems; thorough and accurate gas detection, from indoor air quality sensing, hydroponic environments, to hazardous environmental control; seamless web-based smartphone integration, even of old technologies; smart building set-up and programming; winery and brewery controls of everything from one or two tanks to an entire processing plant; and much more. When it comes to the buildings they work in, Genesis has mostly done commercial buildings, horticulture facilities, and residential towers. They have worked in both existing buildings, where they do a lot of integrating their technology into older systems, and new buildings, where they are typically involved early on and contribute in between multiple phases of the build. As an example of what Genesis Controls is capable of, Trent cites their recent work in the Landmark District in Kelowna. FEBRUARY 2023
