A Commitment to a Cleaner, More Responsible Web
At Spec-Mark Mechanical, we believe that environmental responsibility starts with the choices we make — not just on the ground, but online too. That’s why we’ve taken meaningful steps to ensure our website reflects the same values we bring to our plumbing and backflow prevention work: efficiency, reliability, and care for the communities we serve.
Sustainable Hosting
Our website, specmark.ca, is proudly hosted on Krystal.io, one of the world’s leading green hosting providers. Krystal is powered by 100% renewable energy, sourced through certified green providers. This ensures that the energy used to power our digital presence leaves no carbon footprint.
Built with Sustainability in Mind
The site was designed and developed by Tsuga Digital, a Canadian digital studio that prioritises low-impact, performance-first web design. Whenever possible, Tsuga chooses technologies and design strategies that reduce energy consumption and maximise efficiency — without compromising usability or accessibility.
Low-Carbon Web Footprint
According to Website Carbon, specmark.ca is:
- Cleaner than 94% of websites tested
- Producing just 0.13g of CO₂ every time someone visits the homepage
- Estimated to emit only 1.56kg of CO₂ annually*
To put that in perspective, our website emits roughly the same carbon as brewing 2–3 cups of coffee in an entire year.
*Based on average web traffic and publicly available energy data.
Efficient Content Delivery
We also use Cloudflare, a leading content delivery network (CDN), to optimise and deliver our content globally. Cloudflare’s network is recognised for its commitment to sustainability and operates on 100% renewable energy as part of its climate initiatives.
Why This Matters
As a company deeply involved in water safety and environmental protection, we understand that true responsibility means paying attention to every detail — from the devices we install, to the way we show up online. This page is a small reminder that even the digital world has a footprint — and we’re doing our part to keep it light.
