Optima Engineering was formed in 1992 in Charlotte, North Carolina as a Professional Association. 31 employees (22 are LEED Accredited professionals and 14 licensed Professional Engineers). Optima Engineering is a member of the 7x24 Exchange, NCHEA, PENC, ASHRAE, IES, U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), Progress Energy Trade Ally and educated in the Duke Energy's Save-A-Watt Program.
Optima Engineering specializes in designing educational facilities, data center facilities and other mission critical sites, healthcare facilities, office buildings, high-rise buildings, hotels, fire stations, churches, restaurants, commercial/retail. The variety of projects has enabled our team to develop skills and experience with various engineering systems.
Optima Engineering utilizes the building information modeling (BIM) software Revit, which helps us explore early design concepts and forms, and more accurately maintain your vision through design, documentation, and construction. We use BIM data to support sustainable design, clash detection, construction planning, and fabrication. We also use Trace 700 energy analysis software to predict energy use of systems and facilities and to perform life cycle cost analysis.
