Our mission
-
A leader in the design, manufacture and installation of unitized curtain walls, Epsylon commits to be a first-class partner and to offer an unparalleled service to the owner, professional and general contractor.
-
Concretely, it applies as follows:
– For the owner: deliver an aesthetic structure that provides the best quality of life possible to occupants.
– For the professional: materialize the architect’s vision and erect structures to the full height of their creativity.
– For the general contractor: deliver quality work in respect of the time and budget allowed.
Sustainable Development
Epsylon undertakes to develop sustainable concepts that include the approach and study of its products’ global life cycle. Whether in the raw material procurement, development practices, production methods, transportation, on-site implementing practices, or the final disposal of constructed assemblies, Epsylon develops and is constantly looking for environmentally responsible processes.
Over a number of years, Epsylon’s assessment of environmental impacts was significantly reduced by scaling down energy costs, use of raw materials, solid waste as well as discharges to air and water.
Furthermore, our products such as curtain walls, minimize environmental impacts of the building into which they are integrated, given their certified performance in terms of sound attenuation as well as their air and water-sealing properties. Moreover, they are perfectly suited to LEED-certified projects, in which Epsylon is able to assist the developer and designer in order for them to meet their expected criteria and prerequisites. This is shown by the impressive list of LEED projects that we have realized to this day:
- The Deloitte Tower (first office building in Montreal that has been certified LEED Platinum)
- The CUSM (first hospital in the province of Quebec that has been certified LEED Gold)
- The CRCHUM (LEED Gold)
- The La Capitale Headquarters (LEED Gold)
- The CCQ Headquarters (LEED Gold)
- The Centropolis (LEED Gold)
- The Cité Desjardins de la Coopération (LEED Or)
- The Maison Symphonique de Montréal
Several of our other projects, ongoing or completed, will soon obtain LEED certification.
Social commitment
Epsylon cares about giving back to the community, be it by assisting young talents in architecture, setting up university funds, taking part to numerous charity events, or by donating to causes that matter to us.
The Epsylon Fund for the University of Montreal architecture students
In 2016, Epsylon decided to donate $200,000 to the University Of Montreal School Of Architecture.
