Houston is driven by the Energy Corridor and the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, plus the Port of Houston and a dense petrochemical industrial base along the Ship Channel. Gulf Coast humidity, hurricane exposure, flat bayou terrain, and famously no zoning ordinance shape every project.
What we engineer
Building automation and controls design: BACnet/IP and MS/TP network architecture per ASHRAE Standard 135, DDC controller layouts, sequences of operation written to ASHRAE Guideline 36, HVAC integration (chillers, boilers, VAV, VRF), lighting/HVAC integration, and energy metering per ASHRAE 90.1 Section 8.4. Fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) for air handlers and plants, plus demand-response-ready sequences per OpenADR.
Code compliance that passes
ASHRAE 90.1 and IECC C403/C404/C405 control mandates — automatic shutoff, occupancy and daylighting sensing, demand-controlled ventilation — plus IECC C408 commissioning documentation and Title 24 acceptance testing where required. BACnet Secure Connect (BACnet/SC) with TLS encryption for cybersecurity on every network we design.
Backed by licensed PEs
