Energy costs and energy consumption are rising worldwide with expectations that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future.  Identifying and maximizing energy saving solutions early in the planning process can save building owners and occupants hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of the building.

Our sustainable design engineering teams will work with architects, building planners and owners to recommend mechanical systems, lighting design, electrical and plumbing infrastructures that will work together to optimize a building’s energy and utility efficiency.

The “tools” to create lower energy costs have never been greater.  With this rapidly changing technology, it’s crucial that “green” teams stay abreast of current developments of not only the technologies but their impact on the health and comfort of the building’s occupants.

Energy costs represent the highest payout of operational expenses. Therefore, much of the available national and internatiional R&D funds are used to develop new systems for energy savings. Technologies such as photovoltaic panels are rapidly decreasing costs and payback periods.Other devices which may not be as well known are:

                 Interior lighting systems

                 Heating, cooling and ventilation systems

                 Highly Efficient Daylight Harvesting and Controls

                 Hot Water Systems

                 Rainwater Collection

                 Grey Water Systems
