Mechanical Engineering
Our mechanical engineering team specializes in comprehensive HVAC system design for commercial and institutional buildings. We evaluate multiple system types including geothermal heat pumps, chilled water systems, and direct digital controls to recommend optimal solutions. With expertise in industrial exhaust systems and specialized filtration requirements, we deliver code-compliant designs that balance energy efficiency with operational needs. Our engineers utilize advanced modeling software to ensure proper system sizing and integration with architectural elements.
Electrical Engineering
We provide full-spectrum electrical engineering services for power distribution and lighting systems up to 35kV. Our capabilities include emergency power systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and specialized electrical systems for healthcare and laboratory environments. The team designs energy-efficient lighting solutions and integrates advanced control systems for smart building applications. Our experience with utility coordination ensures seamless connection to existing infrastructure while maintaining compliance with NEC and local code requirements.
Commissioning Services
Our NEBB-certified commissioning professionals verify building systems meet original design intent and operational requirements. Using calibrated instrumentation, we test HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems to identify performance discrepancies. The process includes functional testing of control sequences, airflow verification, and documentation of system parameters. Our commissioning services cover both new construction and existing building retrofits, ensuring optimal system performance throughout the facility lifecycle.
Construction Administration
Led by a licensed professional engineer, our construction administration team provides monthly site visits to verify workmanship and material compliance. We expedite submittal reviews, respond to RFIs, and manage change orders to maintain project schedules. The department coordinates with contractors to resolve field issues while maintaining design integrity. Regular progress reports document construction quality and ensure adherence to contract documents throughout the building process.
Geothermal Systems
We offer specialized engineering for geothermal heat pump systems including ground loop heat exchanger design and integrated system modeling. Our team evaluates subsurface conditions to optimize loop field configuration and designs mechanical systems that interface with geothermal infrastructure. Capabilities include seasonal thermal energy storage analysis and performance modeling for LEED certification. We provide construction phase support to ensure proper installation of geothermal components and system commissioning.
