MEP Engineering
Our MEP engineering services integrate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for optimal building performance. We deliver innovative solutions that reduce energy consumption while maintaining operational efficiency. With expertise across multiple sectors, our engineers implement data-driven designs that meet strict sustainability standards while ensuring occupant comfort and system reliability.
Performance Contracting
Our performance contracting model enables facility upgrades without upfront capital investment. By guaranteeing energy savings, we help clients achieve modernization goals while reducing operational costs. This approach has successfully funded geothermal systems, HVAC upgrades, and comprehensive building retrofits across school districts and government facilities nationwide.
Zero Energy Design
We specialize in designing buildings that produce as much energy as they consume. Our zero energy approach combines aggressive efficiency measures with renewable energy integration. This methodology has produced groundbreaking projects including the first WELL Gold Certified Zero Energy Building in the U.S. and multiple net-zero educational facilities.
Geothermal Systems
Our geothermal solutions leverage earth's stable temperatures for efficient building climate control. With 6,750 miles of installed piping, we design systems that significantly reduce energy costs while maintaining environmental sustainability. These systems form critical components of our zero energy building strategies for educational and public sector clients.
Building Science
Our building science expertise combines 56 years of industry experience with 25+ years of real-world performance data. We use this knowledge to optimize building systems for energy efficiency, occupant wellness, and long-term sustainability. This evidence-based approach informs all our engineering decisions and guarantees measurable outcomes for clients.
