Jacob Komar
Jacob Komar, P.Eng. is the Principal and lead mechanical engineer at Revolve Engineering Inc. and is a specialist in Net Zero building design, energy modelling and geothermal systems. Jacob has helped design over ten Net Zero buildings and more than 35 commercial geothermal systems on a variety of projects ranging from multi-story commercial office buildings to apartment buildings and government facilities.
Jacob started his HVAC career in Virginia working for a leading green design firm, gaining experience in both traditional as well as green HVAC design. Upon returning to Edmonton, Jacob continued to pursue his passion for green design by focusing most of his energy on renewable systems including geothermal, solar thermal, heat recovery systems as well as energy modelling. Today, Jacob focuses solely on green building consulting, Net Zero building designs and renewable mechanical systems (including geothermal). Recent project highlights include energy consulting for the City of Edmonton on the Blatchford Redevelopment (a 550 acre carbon neutral development), as well the Mosaic Centre (Alberta’s first attempt at a Net Zero commercial building). Jacob's passion for designing sustainable, energy-efficient buildings is evident in each of his projects and he always strives to push the envelope in energy efficient designs.
Jacob is actively involved in the green community, serving on the City of Edmonton’s Energy Transition Advisory Committee, as well as the Green Energy Alliance of Alberta and IGSHPA Canada.
