As your MEP Systems Designer, our goal is to close the gap between the design and construction teams, and build consensus around the mechanical systems your project may include.  As part of this process we size the primary system components and design and document the systems in order to get the team members aligned and working towards a successful, unified vision. 

Our approach to MEP systems design focus’s on creating healthy indoor environments that are thermally comfortable, energy efficient, hygienic, durable, resilient, and seamlessly integrated into the architecture of your project. We believe that the active mechanical systems should be supplemental to the passive systems inherent to the Architecture, and require the minimal energy demand possible. We achieve this by examining the best climate appropriate solutions for insulating the thermal envelope, establishing air tightness values for water and vapor management, and reducing thermal bridging to minimize the demand for energy in your building while maximizing it’s durability.

Our Heating & Cooling System designs are properly sized using the ACCA Manual J standard. Prior to recommending system types, specific consideration is given to building type, geometry, regional climate and available technology, as well as occupant preferences for operation.

Our Ventilation Systems are designed to meet ASHRAE 62.2 standards and deliver fresh air to your project in a controlled manner while removing the exhaust air from locations where undesirable/stale air is generated. Depending on your project climate we can recommend Energy or Heat recovery (ERV / HRV) systems as appropriate.

Aesthetics matter. MEP systems can be featured or completely hidden as part of the architectural integration for your project – the important thing is that they are designed with aesthetics in mind and not simply added as an afterthought.
