Engineering’s method of project design
our in-house teams delivering energy modeling, commission- ing, and LEED project manage- ment. We also offer lighting design and comprehensive integrated technology, audio visual, and premise security design through MGE Lighting Design Collaborative and Uni- fied Technologies Corporation. This approach allows us to pro- vide work for all project types, market sectors, and specialty services with seamless coordi- nation. Our expertise touches on the following markets: high riser commercial and residen- tial, healthcare, life science, educational, retail, hospitality,
mission critical, industrial, and central energy plants. Our integrated design ser- vices approach includes: Engineering mechanical systems, instrumentation and automation, renewable energy, heat recovery, ventila- tion and exhaust systems, and specialty systems for sensitive controlled environments. This includes industrial exhaust, smoke evacuation, stair pres- surization, operating rooms, data centers, and specific envi - ronmental control for specialty manufacturing facilities. Engineering plumbing sys- tems, sanitary, grease and
chemical waste and vent systems, storm drainage, do- mestic water, water filtration and polishing systems, natu- ral gas distribution, medical and laboratory gases, grey water, compressed air and vacuum systems. Engineering fire protection systems, automatic sprinkler and standpipe systems, au- tomatic fire pumps, dry pipe systems for areas subject to freezing, preaction systems for sensitive controlled areas and aerosol fire suppression. Engineering fire alarm/life safety systems, fire detec- tion/alarm systems, smoke
evacuation and control, emer- gency communication, and Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) systems. Engineering electrical sys- tems, power distribution, stand-by power plants, unin- terruptible power supplies, special grounding, emergen- cy and standby generators, switchgear, and parallelling gear for all building systems. Building energy performance system operation, utility and energy audits, extensive com- missioning capabilities, and certified inspection services for certain jurisdictions. MGE is set apart from other engineering firms due to con - sistent executive leadership in- volvement, the passion for en- gineering, commitment to our clients and additional design services for building systems normally handled utilizing generic drawings and specifica - tions. Our design profession- als specialize in these systems to provide detailed selection, and construction criteria en- suring projects designed func- tion correctly without the need for third party consultants. MGE LDC (Lighting Design Collaborative), routinely works with architects to develop, provide, and detail lighting fixtures, including specialty and custom light fixture speci - fications required to meet the visual architectural intent of spaces, artwork, and architec- tural features desired by the architect and project owners. MGE LDC is not limited to office spaces, having performed lighting design services in numerous sectors, includ- ing residential developments, healthcare facilities, labora- tories, national and historic landmarks, iconic buildings, airports, bridges, transpor- tation systems, and award- winning architectural projects. Performing computer calcula- tions and renderings for light- ing systems is a routine part of our process to ensure control and functionality. MGE UTC (Unified Tech- nologies Corporation), rou- tinely provides detailed design services for building IT/AV/ Security systems including IT Consulting and services, integrated security systems, wireless technology systems, Auxiliary Radio Communica- tion Systems (ARCS), Distrib- uted Antenna Systems (DAS), and audiovisual systems. continued on page 20A
