We Make Buildings Better
WE UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TAKES TO CREATE CUTTING EDGE ENGINEERING FOR EXCITING SPACES
OUR PRACTICE
We are passionate about buildings.
We aim to work hand in hand with designers, architects, and owners from the earliest stage of any project while crafting innovative and energy efficient systems that enhance not distract from fully experiencing their built visions.
We understand what it takes to create cutting edge engineering for exciting spaces.
Too often, however, architectural ambition is let down by engineering services that do not keep pace with that creativity. Designers, architects, and owners are often faced with a limited choice between engineering services that are not sophisticated enough to execute their visions or are too well established to meet their limited budgets.
We aim to fix that.

Resilience is the new sustainability.
To us, resiliency means an ability to quickly adapt to changes. The most obvious challenges are due to the changing climate with higher temperatures, sea level rise, flooding, drought, and wildfires. Risk and challenges from non-climate-related natural disasters, such as earthquakes and solar flares, and anthropogenic actions like terrorism and cyberterrorism, also call for resilient design. Resilience for businesses and organizations means maintaining continuity of operations in the face of stress and disturbance. Resilience for buildings it means an ability to respond to natural and manmade disasters by providing potable water, sanitation, livable conditions, energy, lighting, safe air, and occupant health.
We help our clients assess and quantify risks to their build assets, and implement measures to mitigate them. We provide technical and strategic recommendations for facility design, system specifications, methodologies and processes, and business continuity.
Our services include:
-
Advice on design of buildings and building systems capable of handling severe storms, flooding, wildfire, and other impacts that are expected to result from a warming climate
-
Design passive heating and cooling strategies for loss of power or heating fuel
-
Provide risk assessment based on future climatic conditions
-

LOCAL LAW 97
New York City’s Greener, Greater Buildings Plan Legislation (GGBP) requires all buildings over 50,000 square feet to take specific actions aimed at increasing energy efficiency.
These actions include:
-
Measuring and reporting energy use
-
Identifying inefficient systems
-
Optimizing existing systems
Our team of energy experts can provide you the support you need to navigate GGBP compliance and access funding available to help pay for required work.
We provide comprehensive energy efficiency and compliance services. Our offerings include:
-
ASHRAE Level I, II and III energy audits
-
Commissioning and retro-commissioning
-
Feasibility Studies
