Doug Cane, principal, Caneta Research Inc., has been active in HVAC applied research and consulting since 1976. Between 1976 and 1983, he was a research officer with the Division of Building Research at NRC responsible for the residential heat pump applications program. In 1983, Mr. Cane joined Canada's largest provincial research organization, the Ontario Research Foundation (now Bodycote ORTECH) and from 1983 to 1989 was involved in numerous contract research projects concerned with energy conservation, utilization, substitution, and efficiency in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Since forming Caneta Research in 1989, Mr. Cane has overseen building research projects for our clients including technology transfer (buyers guides, case studies; designer guidelines); standards and regulations (preparation of draft performance standards for CSA; market and technical analysis in support of NRCan energy efficiency regulations for various air-conditioning and heat pump equipment; OBC 2006 energy requirements); technology investigations (ground-source heat pumps, CFC and HCFC alternatives for air-conditioning equipment; natural gas cooling and refrigeration) and Program support (technical guidelines for CBIP in offices, hotels, schools, and multi-unit residential buildings). Since 2000, he has promoted Caneta's energy modelling services and has overseen a number of ground-source heat pump design and feasibility projects with design teams in the GTAA and elsewhere.

Doug Cane has both a Bachelor degree and a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Waterloo. Mr. Cane is currently a member of the Residential Technical Committee and vice-chairman of the HVAC&R Technical Committee at CSA. He is a member of SCOPEER and keeps up-to-date with standards developments in the air conditioning field at CSA, ARI, ISO and elsewhere. He also served on the ASHRAE Special Project Committee (SSPC) 90.1, mechanical subcommittee, between 1993 and 1998, which was responsible for ASHRAE 90.1–1999.

He is a member of ASHRAE TC 6.8 , Geothermal Energy Utilization and TC 9.4 Applied Heat Pump/Heat Recovery Systems. He is a registered professional engineer in Ontario and a LEED Accredited Professional.

Andrew Morrison is a Senior Engineer at Caneta Research Inc. He is one of Canada's most experienced DOE 2.1E analysts and has been involved in all simulation work involving DOE 2.1E at Caneta Research since joining the firm in 1994. Andrew has been responsible for the review of all submissions to the Commercial Building Incentive Program (CBIP) since 2004, supervising technical staff within Caneta Research and a significant number of subcontactors. He has been involved with many of Caneta’s energy simulation projects for incentive programs and LEED certification .

He has also been involved with a variety of ground-source heat pump projects for organizations such as Natural Resources Canada, ASHRAE, and the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium. In addition to the development of the GS2000 software, some of his the ground-source heat pump work include; commercial design workshops, an investigation of service and maintenance costs, ASHRAE's Commercial/Institutional Building Ground-Source Heat Pump Engineering Manual and numerous DOE 2.1E energy simulations of ground-source buildings.

He has a B.A.Sc. in Engineering from the University of Waterloo and a M. Eng. from Carleton University and is a registered professional engineer in Ontario.
