Services
Sustainability Consulting
Our sustainability consultants create tailored decarbonization strategies for commercial and government buildings. We help clients achieve LEED certification, implement carbon tracking programs, and develop net-zero energy roadmaps. Our expertise spans the entire building lifecycle from initial design to ongoing operations, ensuring environmental responsibility while maintaining functional performance and occupant comfort.
MEP Engineering
Our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services integrate sustainable solutions with technical excellence. We design energy-efficient HVAC systems, electrical infrastructure, and plumbing solutions that meet LEED standards and support net-zero energy goals. Our engineers utilize advanced BIM technology to optimize building performance while ensuring code compliance and operational efficiency.
Commissioning Services
We provide comprehensive commissioning for complex building systems and infrastructure projects. Our services ensure all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems perform according to design specifications through rigorous testing and documentation. This includes airport facilities, transportation tunnels, and mission-critical data centers requiring specialized commissioning protocols and performance validation.
Decarbonization Strategies
Our decarbonization experts develop actionable plans to reduce both operational and embodied carbon in buildings. We implement carbon tracking programs across projects, support participation in industry initiatives like MEP 2040 Challenge, and create tailored roadmaps for achieving net-zero emissions. Our strategies address material selection, energy efficiency, and renewable energy integration for new and existing buildings.
Net Zero Design
We design buildings that achieve net-zero energy consumption through integrated design approaches. Our solutions combine advanced building systems, solar energy implementation, and energy modeling to optimize performance. We've delivered net-zero state office buildings utilizing 100% solar energy and developed frameworks for campus-scale decarbonization projects, demonstrating practical pathways to achieve sustainability goals in dense urban environments.
