GREEN BUILDING MEP DESIGN

Green Building Design starts with choosing the right mechanical systems for the building based on the building type and the goals of the Owner.  The systems then have to be designed with the appropriate energy and water conserving features.  Unfortunately following a simple checklist and adding energy saving options to a system design doesn't guarantee success.  In fact, studies have shown that as many as 35% of LEED-certified buildings actually use more energy than their conventional counterparts.

To realize the full potential of green building design requires an in-depth understanding of how the various energy-conserving features interact.   This interaction must be carefully detailed and incorporated in the sequence of control for the building systems.  ads ENGINEERS, through its long-time involvement with energy audits of existing buildings, understands how critical it is to not only develop the proper sequence of control but to make sure that the contractor incorporates it into the building control systems.
