Chilled Water System Master Planning

We excel in providing comprehensive master planning for your chilled water system, focusing on providing multiple options to achieve optimal configuration of the plant and the entire system. 

Hydraulic Modeling

We create hydraulic models of cooling and heating systems, including plants and distribution systems. Extensive surveying of new or existing systems — capturing each and every component of the system in the model — allows us to analyze all the possible scenarios to reflect year-round operation.

Heat Pumps in Central Plants

Utilizing heat pumps in central plants allows effective transfer of energy from one system to the other that ultimately increases the overall system efficiency and enhances decarbonization. We provide feasibility and design for heat pump systems for optimal performance.

Controls Design

A well-designed control system with proper sensors, instrumentation, and sequence of operations is mandated for any system to operate effectively. We provide controls system design throughout all phases to ensure systems work as intended. Our team can also provide monitoring and troubleshooting.
