Our mission is healthy indoor air for a healthy life, and that starts with right-sized, efficient cooling that supports comfort, IAQ, and productivity across your facility.

Air-Cooled vs. Water-Cooled: What Fits Your Building

Every property has unique load profiles, space constraints, and lifecycle cost goals. We help you select and implement the best technology for your site.

• Air-Cooled Chillers: Ideal for rooftops and tight urban sites. Lower first cost, simpler maintenance, fast deployment, no cooling tower required.
• Water-Cooled Chillers: Central plant workhorses with superior efficiency at scale. Excellent for large buildings and campuses; paired with cooling towers, variable primary flow, and heat recovery options.
• Redundancy & Resilience: N+1 strategies, dual chillers, and loop optimization to protect critical operations and uptime.

We specialize in large and complex projects, providing a single accountable team from concept to commissioning. Our design-build approach includes detailed load calculations, energy modeling, CAD/BIM coordination, equipment selection, and constructability reviews to avoid change orders and schedule slips.
