Building Performance Analysis
Our building performance analysis optimizes energy efficiency and sustainability through advanced modeling tools. We deliver data-driven solutions for zero-energy buildings, reducing energy use intensity by up to 30% beyond regulatory standards. Our proprietary performance modeling tools validate climate-responsive systems, ensuring long-term adaptability and resiliency in high-performance facilities.
Sustainable Design
Sustainable design services focus on decarbonization and zero-carbon solutions for laboratory and research facilities. We integrate renewable energy systems, water conservation strategies, and high-performance building envelopes to achieve LEED Platinum certification. Our approach reduces campus energy costs by 75% while maintaining precision environments for critical research operations.
Commissioning
Comprehensive commissioning services ensure optimal performance of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in complex facilities. We implement ongoing commissioning processes and LEED-enhanced strategies to verify system integration, particularly in laboratory environments requiring stringent containment standards and 24/7 operational reliability for research institutions.
Thermal Utilities
Thermal utility solutions include geothermal energy plants and high-efficiency HVAC systems for corporate sustainability. Our 100% electric combined heating and cooling plants achieve 50% energy reduction compared to traditional systems. We specialize in fluid coolers, adiabatic humidification, and active chilled beam technology for advanced temperature management in research facilities.
Process Engineering
Process engineering services optimize laboratory workflows and vehicle emissions testing infrastructure. We design dedicated test cells for light-to-heavy-duty vehicles and develop data acquisition systems architecture for chain-of-custody compliance. Our solutions integrate disparate systems through RESTful APIs and flat-file interfaces, ensuring seamless data flow in high-consequence research environments.
