MEP/FP Design
Our MEP/FP design team creates holistic mechanical, electrical, and plumbing solutions tailored to project-specific requirements. We integrate fire protection systems with building infrastructure to ensure safety compliance and operational efficiency. With expertise in laboratory environments and healthcare facilities, we deliver systems that balance functionality with energy performance across 43 U.S. states.
Commissioning
We provide comprehensive commissioning services verifying building system performance through rigorous testing protocols. Our process ensures HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems operate at peak efficiency while meeting LEED certification requirements. This systematic approach reduces long-term maintenance costs and improves occupant comfort in commercial and institutional facilities.
Energy Modeling
Our energy modeling services optimize building performance using advanced simulation tools. We analyze energy use intensity for decarbonization strategies and LEED compliance, supporting clients in achieving sustainability goals. This data-driven approach identifies cost-effective efficiency measures for new construction and existing facility retrofits.
BIM/VDC
We utilize BIM/VDC technology for 3D MEP design since 2008, improving coordination and reducing construction conflicts. Our digital twin solutions enhance project visualization and facility management. This technology-driven approach streamlines complex system integration while maintaining design accuracy across multidisciplinary projects.
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Our CFD modeling analyzes airflow and thermal patterns in high-performance buildings. This advanced simulation optimizes HVAC efficiency and indoor environmental quality for laboratories and data centers. By predicting system behavior, we create energy-efficient solutions that meet demanding operational requirements in critical facilities.
