UrjaQuest was founded by building-performance professionals with complementary experience across energy compliance, simulation, benchmarking, decarbonization, energy analytics, smart buildings, and portfolio performance.Together, we bring the technical depth and practical delivery experience needed to support building owners, consultants, and project teams from immediate compliance requirements through longer-term performance improvement.
Co-Founder
Ankit Mittal
Ankit brings more than 14 years of experience across building performance, smart and connected buildings, digital facilities management, energy analytics, and sustainability. His work has covered strategy, solution design, technical consulting, delivery, and portfolio-wide performance programs across the Middle East, APAC, Europe, and North America.His experience sits at the intersection of building systems, digital platforms, and sustainability, with particular depth in energy analytics, intelligent operations, remote monitoring, fault detection, benchmarking, and portfolio performance optimization.
Bhartendu brings more than 13 years of experience across building energy performance, simulation, benchmarking, and compliance. His work has included more than 250 building-simulation projects, annual energy benchmarking across 700+ projects, and 50+ compliance engagements.His focus at UrjaQuest is on the technical work behind compliance and performance decisions—understanding what a requirement actually demands, ensuring the analysis answers the right question, and turning calculations and modelling into defensible, practical next steps.
Building-energy requirements vary significantly by jurisdiction—from energy codes and benchmarking mandates to building-performance standards, emissions requirements, and specialist technical programs.UrjaQuest helps building owners, developers, consultants, and compliance providers understand what applies, assess current performance, complete the required technical analysis, and prepare clear, defensible compliance deliverables.
We provide the technical and delivery support behind building-energy compliance—from identifying applicable requirements through benchmarking, modelling, calculations, documentation, and submission support.
01
Identify Requirements
Review applicable codes, regulations, thresholds, deadlines, reporting obligations, and available compliance pathways for the building or portfolio.
02
Benchmark Performance
Review utility and building data, benchmarking records, energy-use intensity, emissions performance, and other applicable performance indicators.
03
Assess Compliance Gaps
Compare current building performance and available documentation against the applicable requirement to identify what still needs to be addressed.
04
Prepare Technical Analysis
Develop energy models, calculations, scenario analysis, performance assessments, and other engineering work required to support the selected compliance pathway.
05
Documentation & Reporting
Prepare supporting calculations, technical reports, workpapers, forms, and other documentation needed for review or submission.
06
Submission & Review Support
Provide technical support during reporting, filing, review comments, corrections, and follow-up—working alongside the appropriately licensed or qualified professional where required.
Markets, Codes & Programs
Global Expertise. Local Requirements.
Building-energy compliance is increasingly jurisdiction-specific. UrjaQuest supports projects across key markets by combining regulatory understanding with modelling, benchmarking, building-performance analysis, and technical documentation.

National & Provincial Building Energy Support
Canada’s national building-energy codes operate through provincial and territorial adoption, creating different compliance pathways across the country. UrjaQuest supports energy modelling, benchmarking, performance assessment, and technical documentation across applicable national and provincial frameworks.

Turning Carbon Targets Into Practical Building-Performance Plans
Decarbonizing buildings requires more than identifying energy-efficiency opportunities. It requires understanding current performance, evaluating improvement options, quantifying their impact, and deciding which actions make technical and financial sense.UrjaQuest helps building owners, developers, and consulting teams develop practical decarbonization strategies for individual buildings and portfolios—combining building-performance analysis, retrofit and electrification assessments, and phased improvement planning.
Every building has different operating conditions, system constraints, investment priorities, and performance targets. We use a structured, evidence-based approach to turn decarbonization objectives into actionable plans.
01
Assess
Understand Current Performance
Establish existing energy use, carbon emissions, building-system performance, and operational conditions. Identify the technical constraints, regulatory considerations, and improvement opportunities that shape the decarbonization pathway.
02
Quantify
Evaluate the Impact of Improvement Options
Use energy modelling, building-performance analysis, and scenario evaluation to estimate how different efficiency, retrofit, and electrification measures could affect energy consumption, emissions, and operating costs.
03
Prioritize
Identify the Most Practical Measures
Compare improvement opportunities based on energy and carbon impact, technical feasibility, capital requirements, operational disruption, and alignment with the building's long-term objectives.
04
Phase
Develop an Implementable Roadmap
Sequence improvement measures around equipment replacement cycles, capital budgets, operational priorities, and future performance targets to establish a practical implementation pathway.

Applications & Outputs
Technical Work That Supports Decisions
Our technical capabilities are applied to practical building-performance questions — from comparing design options to assessing existing buildings and supporting sustainability objectives.The emphasis is not simply on producing models or calculations, but on generating findings that can inform engineering and project decisions.
01 Design Evaluation
Design & System Selection
Which design or system option offers better energy performance?
Building design requires evaluating alternatives with different energy, operational, and technical implications. We use simulation and comparative analysis to support the selection of appropriate design and system strategies.
