Design-Build and Retrofits

We collaborate with facility teams and stakeholders to deliver practical, code‑compliant designs that reduce lifecycle cost. Whether you are building a new central utility plant or upgrading legacy equipment, our engineers model loads, evaluate redundancy (N+1), and plan phasing to keep buildings operational during construction. Expect transparent budgets, accurate timelines, and clean job sites.

Efficiency, Controls, and Optimization

Energy savings are baked into every project. We fine‑tune setpoints, pump sequencing, condenser water reset, chilled water differential pressure control, and tower fan staging for real‑world performance. Our team integrates with your BAS (Niagara, BACnet, Modbus) to deliver measurable improvements and clear dashboards. We also assess rebate pathways and incentives where applicable, helping you capture ROI faster.

Reliability, Safety, and Compliance

University labs, libraries, and residence halls demand uptime. We design for serviceability, redundancy, and safe access. Our work aligns with Title 24, ASHRAE 90.1/62.1, EPA 608 refrigerant handling, and Cal/OSHA LOTO procedures. We calibrate sensors, verify alarms, and document sequences so your team has confidence in every operating condition.

Planned Maintenance and 24/7 Emergency Response

Predictable performance comes from disciplined care. Our PM programs include vibration analysis, oil/refrigerant testing, tube cleaning, tower basin hygiene, strainers, and chemical water treatment coordination to protect assets and maintain indoor air quality. When issues arise, our Oxnard‑based crew responds 24/7 with stocked trucks and factory‑trained expertise to get you back online quickly.

Materials, Equipment, and Factory Training

Our engineers have trained with leading global manufacturers—including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea, Gree, and Haier—so we understand equipment from the inside out. We apply best practices across brands to ensure correct sizing, piping, start‑up, and commissioning, protecting warranties and maximizing efficiency.

Transparent Delivery and Campus Coordination

We coordinate around academic calendars, high‑stakes events, and sensitive research timelines. Expect proactive communication, clear submittals, safety plans, and daily progress updates. We work smoothly with facilities, IT, and security teams to manage site access, crane lifts, and shutdowns with minimal disruption.
