  • Perform energy simulations in early design phases at no extra charge to clients.
  • Plan for ‘solar‑ready’ buildings by estimating PV capacity and incorporating infrastructure for future installation.
  • Use building performance & energy modeling, passive design, daylighting, LCCA, energy & water audits, solar feasibility studies.
  • Commitment to design systems that minimize carbon footprint and provide healthy spaces (‘every day is Earth Day’).
  • Commissioning and sustainability departments work together to meet project sustainability goals.
  • Lean on EPA guidance: reducing building energy use as cost‑effective greenhouse gas reduction.
  • Integrate renewable energy planning and modeling to balance envelope, systems sizing, and PV options.
  • High‑performance energy design strategies (e.g., heat‑pump chillers, occupancy‑based VAV, waste‑heat recovery, thermal storage) especially in 24/7 facilities.
  • Water conservation via rainwater harvesting, low‑flow fixtures, condensate recovery.
  • Net Zero target: achieve net zero energy buildings through continuous modeling, design trade‑offs, and solar readiness.

Inclusion & Diversity

  • Celebrated women engineers on International Women in Engineering Day, emphasizing female perspectives challenge ideas and serve as role models.
