Vanderweil collaborates with building owners and operators facing pressures to meet ambitious regulations and energy targets, guiding them through benchmarking energy consumption, crafting strategic energy reduction and electrification strategies, and integrating these plans within their capital frameworks.

Our practical methodology leverages our engineers, building performance analysts, and commissioning agents working alongside preconstruction consultants and cost estimators to ensure strategies are cost-effective, feasible, and sustainable over the long term.

  • Energy Master Planning
  • Local Ordinance Compliance
  • Energy Audits
  • Retro-Commissioning

Total Carbon is a critical consideration in our engineering approach, emphasizing the need to minimize both operational and embodied carbon emissions in MEP systems. Operational carbon refers to the greenhouse gas emissions produced during the operation of MEP equipment, while embodied carbon encompasses the emissions generated during the manufacturing and installation of these systems.

With the increasing efficiency and electrification of our systems, and the concurrent reduction in carbon intensity of electricity, embodied carbon can now constitute up to half of the total carbon emissions. Therefore, our Total Carbon approach not only complements electrification but also builds upon it, ensuring a comprehensive strategy for reducing overall carbon impact. By focusing on both aspects, we help our clients achieve substantial and sustainable decarbonization goals.
