Mechanical Systems
Petersen Engineering includes full-service HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection engineering capability. All mechanical system designs are approached with an underlying goal of sustainability.
Energy Efficiency
A holistic approach is used to improve energy efficiency in buildings. Consulting work focuses on reducing the energy requirements of the building as a first priority with the remainder of the heating and cooling requirements addressed by mechanical systems that are well planned, integrated, designed, and implemented.
Integrated Design
Petersen Engineering collaborates with clients on issues of building siting, massing and envelope design to minimize life cycle costs of buildings and to optimize occupant comfort. Energy modeling and building simulation helps to inform the integration process. 3D drafting services aid space planning during design and results in well-illustrated and coordinated construction documents.
Sustainable and Green Design
Petersen Engineering is committed to sustainable and green design philosophies. The entire firm is dedicated to developing greater expertise to assure a more sustainable built environment now and in the future.
Commissioning and Post Occupancy Evaluations
Construction phase services include commissioning functions and post occupancy evaluations with goals of confirming and documenting building performance and operation. These services ensure that systems function properly with optimal efficiency and that the building users are knowledgeable about their building. This work also serves as a valuable feedback loop to inform future designs.
