Services
MEP Engineering
Our MEP engineering services combine technical analysis with hands-on installation expertise to create durable, energy-efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. We design solutions tailored to owner needs while ensuring compliance with codes and standards. Our focus on lifecycle costs helps clients minimize long-term maintenance and energy expenses.
Commissioning
HCE's commissioning process validates that building systems operate according to design specifications through field testing and performance analysis. We identify inefficiencies in HVAC, lighting, and control systems to optimize energy use and occupant comfort. Our engineers work with contractors to resolve issues before final project handover.
Field Investigations
Using thermal imaging and data logging tools, we diagnose MEP system failures including moisture intrusion, humidity issues, and electrical anomalies. Our engineers analyze root causes of performance problems and recommend cost-effective remediation strategies. Field investigations help clients avoid costly litigation through third-party technical assessments.
Expert Witness
HCE provides expert witness services for building-related disputes, including mold investigations, code compliance reviews, and system failure analysis. Our engineers prepare detailed reports and testify in court to explain technical findings in accessible terms. We also assist with out-of-court dispute resolution through independent evaluations.
High Performance Buildings
We integrate energy modeling and lifecycle costing into MEP designs to achieve LEED certification and Austin Green Building standards. Our high-performance systems reduce utility costs below $1/sqft/year for many clients. Services include photometric lighting analysis, stormwater management, and renewable energy system design.
