HVAC Systems
We design advanced HVAC systems ranging from standard comfort control to specialized environments like surgical suites and data centers. Our solutions incorporate energy recovery, UV purification, and geothermal applications. With building energy modeling and life cycle analysis, we optimize system performance while maintaining code compliance and client budget requirements.
Plumbing Design
Our plumbing expertise covers commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, and specialized lab waste systems. We design comprehensive water, waste, and storm systems while addressing medical gas requirements. Our team ensures code compliance through detailed reviews and coordinates designs with other building systems for optimal functionality and maintenance access.
Fire Protection
We engineer comprehensive fire protection systems including wet/dry pipe sprinklers, pre-action systems, and gas-based suppression. Our designs incorporate fire pumps, water storage tanks, and specialized suppression for high-risk areas. We ensure compliance with NFPA standards while integrating systems with building infrastructure for reliable performance and minimal maintenance.
Energy Modeling
Our energy modeling services optimize building performance through detailed analysis of HVAC and lighting systems. We create energy cost projections, life cycle assessments, and LEED-compliant sustainability strategies. Using advanced software tools, we identify efficiency opportunities while maintaining system functionality and client budget parameters across commercial and institutional projects.
Building Audits
We conduct comprehensive building system audits evaluating mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection infrastructure. Our assessments identify maintenance needs, code compliance issues, and efficiency improvements.
