Building Systems Engineering

Our mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering teams are creating new and innovative ways to reduce cost and energy consumption and improve human comfort and safety in the built environment.

Combining creativity with engineering know-how, these innovative thinkers are finding affordable and effective ways to make the most productive use of building systems—developing systems that capture geothermal energy or reclaim waste water, and designing lighting controls and systems that improve comfort and reduce costs. We’re even helping energy providers make notably better use of their own energy.

As we make discoveries in one market, we’re applying them to other markets we serve, helping organizations  do more without spending more and producing some amazing results in the process—in buildings, in neighborhoods, and in communities.
