Mechanical
Whether it’s a new HVAC system design, dehumidification system replacement or heat loss calculations, our mechanical team is well-versed to meet and exceed project objectives.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
From specialty dehumidification design encountered in supermarkets, ice arenas and natatoriums, to prototype designs, retail mechanical systems and campus-wide heating and chilled water plants, to heat loss calculations for single-family homes, noise critical environments found in performance art centers, museums and libraries or specialty design of clean rooms and health facilities, our mechanical design team is well-versed to meet and exceed project objectives.
Furthermore, our team is experienced in detailed energy analysis and energy compliance calculations for all types of buildings (LEED, Minnesota B3 SB 2030 Energy Standard, California Title 24) using 2D and 3D energy analysis tools.
Our mechanical practice has professional engineers licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and four Canadian provinces.
