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.

Tel: (905) 542-2890 Ext. 102
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.

Email: bhum@canetaenergy.com
Tel: (905) 542-2890 Ext. 103
Bob Hum is an Associate Engineer, is responsible for
building energy simulation , using EE4 and DOE 2.1E software for modelling building
designs seeking LEED certification
and other incentives. He has undertaken numerous energy simulations of schools for various public
school boards, and of other buildings.
Other projects include a heat pump design improvement study, heat
pump retrofit feasibility, commercial ground-source heat pump assessment,
algorithm development and coding for a patio heater screening E-Tool,
and retrofit studies for multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs)
and offices.
He has consulted on a number of market and technology assessments
for energy efficiency regulations including chillers, central air
conditioners and heat pumps, commercial ice-makers, refrigerated
vending machines and gas furnaces. Bob has also undertaken technology
assessments in residential district energy and ground-source heat
pumps.
Bob has both a Bachelor degree and a Master's degree in Mechanical
Engineering from the University of Waterloo. He is a registered
professional engineer in Ontario and a LEED Accredited Professional.

Tel: (905) 542-2890 Ext. 104
Brian Crossman is an Associate, responsible for
energy simulation projects using EE4, DOE2.1E and eQUEST software for evaluating
building designs seeking LEED certification and other incentives.
He has completed numerous building simulations including college
buildings, primary and secondary schools, long term care facilities,
community centres and daycare facilities. He has also conducted
numerous design assessments of submissions to the CBIP Program.
Other projects include Visual Basic programming in connection with
client software developments, technical and economic assessment
of Ice Kube technology, and evaluation of supermarket and swimming
pool dehumidification technologies. Brian has also been involved
in ground-source heat pump design and
feasibility projects - including system modelling, ground heat exchanger
sizing, and piping design. He performed energy simulations and
prepared draft code text during the OBC 2006 update project.
Brian has been with Caneta Research since 2001 and is experienced
in end-use energy and demand analysis having completed many projects
for Caneta clients. Brian has a B.A.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering
