Methodology
We determine the needs of all stakeholders, owners, users, vendors, contractors, sub-consultants, and the unique requirements of the structure and the building usage. We stress the importance of incorporating a commissioning process not just after construction but from the very beginning, if possible. We specify products compatible with existing infrastructure, consistent with facilities management staff’s knowledge base, practices, and preferences of facilities management staff. We work with local energy companies to uncover available energy-efficient design incentives. We do whatever it takes to deliver a successful, long-term solution.
Sustainable Approach
Passive design strategies are as old as architecture itself. On any project, large or small, we are dedicated to helping the team utilize those strategies cost-effectively. This is part of our basic service for every job.
Strategies and sustainable services employed at MA Engineers include:
- Passive Design Strategies
- Sustainable Design Systems
- Computer Simulation
- We use REVIT integrated thermal modeling software to determine the energy savings, payback, and lifecycle cost of potential project enhancements.
