Services
HVAC Design
Our HVAC design services create energy-efficient climate control solutions for commercial and institutional buildings. We engineer systems ranging from simple packaged units to complex central plants, ensuring optimal comfort, maintainability, and energy performance. With expertise in variable primary flow systems and chilled water designs, we deliver tailored solutions that meet ASHRAE standards while balancing first costs with long-term operational efficiency.
Building Commissioning
We provide comprehensive building commissioning to verify system performance in new and existing facilities. Our process ensures HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems operate according to design intent while training staff for proper maintenance. This systematic approach reduces service calls, improves occupant comfort, and provides documentation for ongoing facility management, particularly benefiting laboratories, prisons, and research facilities.
Electrical Engineering
Our electrical engineering covers power distribution and lighting design for commercial buildings. We specialize in campus-scale electrical systems and energy management solutions that optimize operational efficiency. Through detailed analysis of existing systems and new facility specifications, we create code-compliant electrical infrastructure that supports both current needs and future expansion requirements.
Life Cycle Analysis
We conduct detailed life cycle cost analyses to determine optimal system choices for commercial properties. Using weather data simulations, we evaluate energy consumption patterns and maintenance costs over 20+ year periods. This approach helps clients make informed decisions about HVAC systems based on total ownership costs rather than initial installation expenses, maximizing long-term value.
Plumbing Design
Our plumbing design services integrate efficient water distribution and waste management systems for institutional and commercial buildings. We engineer solutions that comply with local codes while optimizing water usage and system maintainability. From simple fixtures to complex laboratory plumbing requirements, our designs ensure reliable performance and energy-efficient hot water delivery systems.
