Services
Mechanical System Design
We design comprehensive mechanical systems for commercial and institutional buildings, including HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection. Our engineers utilize BIM technology and prioritize energy efficiency through variable air flow systems, radiant floor heating, and low-flow fixtures. Our designs meet ASHRAE standards while optimizing lifecycle costs for building owners.
Building Commissioning
Our commissioning services ensure optimal performance of mechanical systems in new and existing buildings. We verify HVAC, plumbing, and control systems meet design specifications through rigorous testing protocols. This process improves energy efficiency by 15-30% while reducing maintenance costs over the building's lifecycle.
Energy Optimization
We implement energy conservation measures including geothermal heating, solar thermal systems, and heat recovery ventilation. Our engineers conduct energy modeling to identify efficiency opportunities that reduce operating costs while supporting Net Zero building goals through ASHRAE-compliant strategies.
LEED Certification
Our LEED-certified professionals guide projects through sustainable design certification. We integrate low-impact materials, energy-efficient systems, and water conservation technologies to achieve LEED Silver to Platinum ratings while maintaining budgetary constraints for commercial and institutional clients.
HVAC Engineering
We design advanced HVAC systems incorporating variable refrigerant flow, dedicated outdoor air systems, and chilled beam technology. Our solutions maintain indoor comfort while reducing energy consumption through smart control systems and heat recovery strategies for commercial and industrial applications.
