Sustainable and energy efficient design principles and practices influence Global Engineering Solutions work on every project. Our professionals understand that the decisions with the greatest impact on sustainability and energy efficiency are made early in the design process, before the design direction has been set. Once these decisions are made and agreed to by the owner, GES adheres to them rigorously throughout the design and construction process.
As an engineering firm, GES is adept at evaluating the life cycle, maintenance and operating costs of facilities. When doing so, it becomes clear that energy efficient, sustainable design can not only reduce the initial up front costs but tremendously affect the operating cost for the life of the facility. Owners that are committed to developing sustainable projects must also be committed to maintaining and operating the facility responsibly once it is turned over. Efficient building operations can often help recoup any up front costs associated with achieving a LEED designation.
GES is a proud member of the United States Green Building Council, has LEED Accredited Professionals on staff and has provided LEED related services on numerous projects including providing Building Energy Modeling. The firm has gained a high level of knowledge in the green building process and possesses the experience to successfully apply these principals to all building projects.
