Designing integrated facilities resulting in cost savings in energy, maintenance and operations 

 

A Single Source 

We provide clients with a single source of expertise for sustainable facility engineering and design from individual buildings to complex campuses. Whether it is complete engineering of centralized and distributed utility systems, HVAC, mechanical, electrical and building control systems or engineering design, clients benefit from our depth of capabilities to optimize facility performance. Our firm's ability to optimize and maintain buildings, develop assessment and upgrade plans, propose energy cost reduction strategies, train operator and maintenance staff and manage site remodeling brings an integrated solution to your facility design project.  

 

An Integrated Approach 

At Sebesta Blomberg, our integrated facilities design approach to facility engineering revolves around a thorough understanding of the process requirements within the facility during the initial planning phase.  Working with customers to identify and resolve critical issues early in the process is our first priority. While this is only the initial step in our full-service, total project approach, it lays the essential groundwork for the remainder of the project. Once we learn about your business objectives and unique project requirements, we will assemble a team with the skill sets needed to plan and execute your project. This team works together for a smooth execution of your project. Our comprehensive planning process results in cost savings in energy, maintenance and operations for years to come.
