Sustainable Engineering Solutions

Sustainable Engineering Solutions was founded to address a very real need in the construction industry. In an era when costs are spiraling, quality is questionable, and change orders are one of the first things considered when planning a project, it’s time to do things differently.

From ancient times to the Renaissance, Master Builders were responsible for construction projects. The Master Builder was not an architect, engineer, or contractor, but the embodiment of all three disciplines. They produced some of the greatest wonders of the world.

Toward the end of the Renaissance, design, and construction began to separate into professionals and guilds. This separation continued for many reasons until today the construction industry is fragmented, inefficient, and confrontational with architects, engineers, and contractors each blaming the other for project deficiencies.

We at SES are changing the paradigm. Rather than viewing contractors as commodities, we view them as our partners in delivering the best quality project for a guaranteed price and most efficient schedule to the owner.

Electrical Engineer Services 

When it comes to building design, finding the best way to place the electrical components can be a challenge. At SES, we understand this challenge and can help you meet it head-on. Whether you need help locating the bulky electrical switchgear or need assistance choosing light fixtures that accent your finished space but also meet code requirements, our electrical engineers have the expertise to assist you.

Electrical Systems Designed with Safety and Aesthetics in Mind

At SES our electrical engineers and contractor partners are always working to stay on the cutting edge of the latest trends and technologies in the electrical industry. To better serve our customers, they stay connected by building and maintaining relationships with power and lighting vendors and local jurisdictions.

The knowledge they gain from these relationships allows them to better assist our customers in designing electrical systems that are safe and efficient without taking away from the look of the building. With these close ties, our electrical contractors can finish your job more efficiently.

With our research skills, knowledge, and close ties within the community, SES strives to provide clients with an environment that is designed to, most importantly, be safe and highly-functional without sacrificing the aesthetics of the space.

Energy-Saving Electrical Solutions for New and Existing Buildings

In addition to designing systems for function and safety, SES also designs electrical systems to be sustainable and energy efficient. We can identify opportunities and execute strategies to reduce energy use and operational costs by using our expertise in designing comprehensive energy master plans for total retrofits, new designs, and building upgrades.

Energy Engineering Services

SES specializes in design, installation, integration, and maintenance of a variety of electromechanical systems, involving Building Automation, Energy Management Systems, lighting, surveillance, and access control. Between them, lighting and mechanical systems are responsible for 80+% of a building’s energy use. Re-engineering these systems in existing buildings results in considerable utility bill savings for owners and operators. Projects entail providing and installing direct digital controls through SES’ highly skilled, professional team of control instrumentation technicians, programming technicians, and energy engineers. Our core focus areas are Integration of facility subsystems such as HVAC, Access, Security / Surveillance, Smoke Control, Lighting, Room Pressurization Systems, Plumbing and Medical Gas.

Building Automation Systems

We design, install, and service Building Automation Systems through a diverse product offering. Our installations range from control of a single piece of equipment to large hot/chilled water plants to geothermal heat pump systems.

Electronic Access Control & Surveillance

Although access control and video surveillance systems are often offered as separate systems from a facility’s building automation system. SES can provide an integrated solution.

Lighting Control

Around 40 percent of energy use in commercial buildings is from lighting. SES can deliver a number of solutions to help you reduce your building’s lighting energy consumption whether it be through a turn key solution from one of our product partners or through an integration of your existing system.

Energy Management Services

The average building consumes 20% more energy than necessary. SES can look for problems, identify opportunities, and improve your building and business performance. We have a proven process and will work with your team to meet your business objectives. SFES provides energy audits, analysis, proposed conservation measures, and utility rebates.

System Integration

Integration of 3rd party, open and legacy systems into a single operator interface. Multiple vendor BACnet field controllers, Modbus equipment, and legacy proprietary system integration into a single seated control system.

HVAC Mechanical Services

Along with our sister company Huckestein Mechanical Services, SES provides Installation, repair, emergency, and scheduled maintenance services for mechanical equipment. Our experience includes but is not limited to boilers, chillers, cooling towers, air handling units, rooftop units, variable air volume terminal units, and all related controls.

Plumbing Services

At SES, our plumbing engineers will provide you with a high-functioning system that will meet your specifications and needs while assisting you in conserving natural resources. Our expert plumbing engineers and contracting partners work to handle all aspects of the project and will orchestrate them to fit in with your overall building plans.

Systems Designed with the Whole Building in Mind

From determining tap size and utility location to coordinating with civil engineers, our plumbing engineers will design your plumbing system with the your “whole building” in mind.  With this design method, our plumbing engineers can design a system that will fit into your current building plans. This allows you to avoid surprises that could come from the plumbing design interfering or not integrating properly with the design plan.

To accomplish this efficient and sustainable type of design, our plumbing engineers will review project objectives, designs, and materials from a variety of perspectives to ensure they get the design right the first time.

Sustainable Energy Saving Solutions

At SES We strive to provide our customers with systems that are well-designed and energy efficient. As part of our design services, our plumbing engineers will work to design a system that helps to conserve water and energy. Our engineers will also make sure fire protection systems and broad pollution systems are installed. Our goal is to design a plumbing system that is not only high-functioning, but one that will ensure your overall site is sustainable.

Contact SES today to learn more about our plumbing services and how we can help you conserve water and energy with our sustainable plumbing designs.

Mechanical Engineering Services

At SES, our team members are experts in a wide range of mechanical engineering services. Whether you want to install cooling for a new server room or need to redesign and replace your inefficient mechanical plant, the experts at SES can help. Our mechanical engineers and professional designers specialize in the following areas:

• Heating

• Cooling

• Ventilation

• Humidifying

• Dehumidifying

• Air Movement

• Air Cleaning

Our team of professional engineers and mechanical designers are committed to providing quality craftmanship and professional services to our clients. They also strive to stay informed of the latest developments in the field through participation in numerous organizations such as the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).

Services Designed with the End in Mind

At SES we understand that mechanical systems are an expensive component in any building. With the impact these systems can have on the energy efficiency, environment and the longevity of the building, we work to expertly plan and strategize the design of the mechanical systems with early involvement of our contracting partners.

This allows us to gain better control over all aspects of the project and avoid a costly disconnect between the engineers and contractors. This method of design-build services allows us to provide quality, professional mechanical services to our customers without constant change orders and inefficient design.
