MEP Design
Our MEP Design service provides comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering solutions for new construction and retrofit projects. We specialize in HVAC systems, power distribution, and plumbing fixture specifications for commercial buildings including restaurants, office spaces, and senior living facilities. With over 18 years of experience, our designs consistently meet or exceed energy performance standards while maintaining cost efficiency.
MEP Commissioning
MEA's commissioning service ensures optimal building system performance through contract document review, functional testing, and on-site verification. Our Certified Commissioning Authority conducts multiple site inspections during construction, focusing on HVAC, electrical systems, and fire protection compliance. This process guarantees systems operate as designed while meeting all regulatory requirements for commercial properties.
Property Condition Assessments
We conduct detailed property condition assessments for lenders and real estate investors, evaluating HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire suppression systems. Our reports identify repair needs, deferred maintenance, and life safety issues while analyzing financial implications. This service supports informed decision-making for property acquisitions and capital planning across multiple commercial building types.
Energy Audits
Our energy audit service identifies conservation opportunities and efficiency improvements for commercial buildings. Through system evaluations and performance modeling, we develop cost-effective retrofit strategies that reduce energy consumption while maintaining operational requirements. These assessments support LEED certification goals and qualify buildings for energy incentive programs.
Expert Witness Services
MEA provides expert witness services for construction and design disputes, translating complex engineering concepts into clear, actionable insights. Our professional engineers offer objective analysis of system failures, contract compliance issues, and design deficiencies. This service supports legal teams with technical documentation, site investigations, and courtroom testimony when required.
