One of our core goals is to empower our clients in their decision making. With constantly evolving technology and choices in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing products, our Architects and Owners are often left wondering what really is the best choice for their project? How much space will it take up? Is it easy to operate and maintain? Do you want to save on up front costs, or over the life cycle of the equipment?
One of our current projects is a new-construction, commercial building offering family services. During the concept phase of the project, we developed an infographic to help guide the owner’s decision regarding the air conditioning for the building. Given the project’s constraints and the owner’s expectations with regard to operation, maintenance, and cost, the infographic pits Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems against multiple single-zone systems.

We often will develop these guides to aid our clients’ decisions; putting things in plain, easy to understand language that is valuable to the Architect, Owner, and Stakeholders in the project.
How will your next project be air conditioned? Will your next lighting control system be wireless or wired? What are the benefits of upgrading the ventilation systems now, versus down the road? Take advantage of our knowledge early in your projects’ development and get things started off on the right foot.
