engineering outstanding environments

In a world of ever more constrained resources, the design of building systems demands careful attention and wise choices. Initial construction, future changes, energy, and other annual operating costs must all be considered. Complex building types have intensive requirements and energy demands. We intimately understand that institutions need to balance operability and flexibility with resiliency and sustainability.

In trying to get to Net Zero, we employ clean energy sources, but those sources are often tied to a grid. Resiliency is about redundancy and backups so, for example, when there is a flood, hospital generators come on and there is no cessation of operations. Sustainability and resiliency are sometimes at odds.

Thankfully, our expertise in both sustainability and resiliency positions us to settle the quarrel between them. Our cutting-edge modeling capabilities show clients various scenarios and help then make informed decisions.
