Services
Mechanical Engineering
Our mechanical engineering services focus on HVAC system design and optimization for commercial buildings. We conduct detailed load calculations using California-approved EnergyPRO software to ensure proper equipment sizing. This prevents energy waste from oversized systems while maintaining occupant comfort. Our engineers address ductwork efficiency, economizer functionality, and climate-specific design factors.
Energy Efficiency
We implement energy-saving strategies that reduce commercial building operating costs by 15-30%. Services include high-efficiency HVAC replacement, programmable thermostat installation, and lighting upgrades to T8 fluorescent systems. Our solutions balance energy conservation with indoor air quality, addressing moisture control and ventilation requirements for healthy building environments.
Title 24 Compliance
Our Title 24 experts ensure building projects meet California's strict energy code requirements. We prepare mechanical plans demonstrating compliance with HVAC, lighting, and insulation standards. This mandatory certification process reduces long-term energy costs while verifying proper equipment installation and system performance for new construction and remodels.
HVAC Consulting
We provide comprehensive HVAC consulting for commercial properties, including system sizing, retrofit recommendations, and efficiency audits. Our engineers analyze building characteristics like window types, insulation levels, and shading devices to optimize heating and cooling performance. We also verify economizer operation and ductwork integrity in existing systems.
Building Permits
We assist with mechanical, plumbing, and electrical permit applications for commercial projects. Our services include preparing required documentation for HVAC modifications, plumbing changes, and electrical system upgrades. We ensure all submissions meet local code requirements while streamlining the approval process for building departments.
