Over the last fifteen years M/E Engineering, P.C. has diligently represented clients interests in minimizing utility costs, and designing building systems that operate cost effectively with the minimum degree of maintenance possible.  We were one of the first 100 members of the United States Green Building Council and have a dedicated focus toward efficient, sustainable building design.  M/E Engineering has extensive experience in not only the design of new and renovated buildings to Green and LEED standards, but also the certification of buildings to earn LEED certification.  We utilize our entire design staff and seventeen LEED accredited professionals to fully integrate building system design into a high performing efficient, comfortable, maintainable facility.  This approach to system design, in concert with maximizing the effectiveness of the sustainable architectural and site features of the building will produce a facility that has excellent potential for LEED recognition.
