OurServices
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering focuses both on creating healthy and comfortable indoor environments for people, as well as on the generation and distribution of energy. From cooling/heating coil and fan selections, to air distribution techniques and building pressurization, we utilize modern practices to present quality designs.
From Design to Build
For architects, contractors, and building owners, an MEP consulting firm provides peace of mind. We help ensure that your project maximizes performance, minimizes cost, and provides long-term value–devising systems that properly integrate with a building’s architecture and desired performance.
Electrical Engineering
We conceptualize and develop safe, reliable, and effective electrical systems, with flexibility for growth and change – systems that sustainably support the life and usefulness of buildings into the future. Including lighting, distribution, studies and arc flash, emergency power, sustainability and energy saving, telecom, and security.
Sustainability and Energy
Sustainable design systems incorporate alternative energy and conservation technologies to improve our environment and reduce waste. We routinely perform Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and energy modeling to evaluate ways to meet certification for LEED, Green Globes, WELL, and more.

Backup, standby and emergency power for hospitals
It’s absolutely paramount to have a reliable and uninterrupted electrical supply in a hospital. Even the slightest dip in a healthcare facility’s electrical supply can result in devastating results for patients on life support or in the middle of a life-saving operation. In order to protect these situations, the NFPA and The Joint Commission have developed extensive codes and regulations that must be followed by all healthcare facilities–and thank God they do! However, when choosing a partner to assist with this journey it’s important to keep in mind the future demands and needs of your growing facility.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) VS Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
Indoor air quality and indoor environmental quality are two terms that are often mixed up because their acronyms are akin, and concepts overlap.
