Mechanical Engineering
HVAC systems are crucial for maintaining climate control in any building or home, necessitating precise engineering matched to actual conditions. Sugarpine Engineering is proficient with an array of systems including traditional furnaces and air conditioners to air source heat pumps, geothermal, air handlers, VAVs, hybrid systems, ductless splits, and packaged systems. Our designs frequently incorporate heat recovery and passive thermal distribution to capture wasted heat and optimize performance.
Plumbing Engineering
Plumbing encompasses not only traditional hot and cold domestic water systems but also advanced hydronic solutions such as snowmelt and radiant floor heating. Sugarpine Engineering has extensive experience with all things related to extreme snow and hydronics: heated sidewalks, heated roadways, radiant flooring, heated eaves and gutters; all essential for managing record snowfalls and harsh winters. Our expertise also includes the more typical systems: chilled water, hot water, filtration, steam, geothermal, wells, and pressure controls. Coordinated experience ensures comprehensive and efficient solutions.
Electrical Engineering
The electrical system is the unseen backbone of any building, integrating components such as utility power, solar PV, batteries, hydro/wind power, and generators. At Sugarpine Engineering, we understand these complex systems, ensuring seamless interconnection and reliable performance. Our expertise covers power distribution, delivery Voltage, equipment physical coordination, lighting, controls, communications, and AV/data systems, all designed to meet high standards of efficiency and safety.
Sugarpine Engineering offers various levels of coordination and options for design and delivery of all engineering services.
These fall generally into 3 categories but there are levels of overlap and customization available:
- Guiding Documents and Performance Specs for design-builders. With or without drawings.
- Traditional Method 2D Drawings for Permitting and Construction
- Basic 3D Coordination with 2D Drawings for Permitting and Construction
- Complete Building 3D Coordination & Drawings
Commissioning
Building Commissioning ensures that all systems are working properly and are code compliant. Sugarpine commissioning also confirms the systems meet our quality and convenience standards.
Sophisticated 3D Modeling
Construction of highly intricate buildings often includes costly, mid-construction design coordination. Most of these issues can be solved with extensive three dimensional modeling before construction even begins. All of Sugarpine Engineering’s design services can be upgraded to include sophisticated 3D modeling to tailor our designs to your unique structure.
Lighting Design & Review
Lighting is a complicated design process which involves aesthetics, function, and compliance. Many firms are well equipped to handle designing beautiful lighting, but struggle to ensure proper light levels and energy compliance. SPE offers superior design services, as well as, review and consulting to help guide designs by others.
Data System Design
A data system with wireless access points, security devices, and building automation can become overly complex quickly. Sugarpine data system designs ensure every pieces is accounted for.
Expert Witness
Sugarpine Engineering staff take pride in our honesty, integrity, and experience. We are capable of supporting your legitimate claims with PE expert witness investigations, professional reports, deposition, and trial testimony.
Fire Suppression & Fire Alarm
Fire suppression and fire alarm systems are often required for permitting commercial buildings, but are not covered under MEP services. We offer fire suppression and fire alarm performance specifications, supplementing MEP design, to ensure that permitting goes as smoothly as possible.
Energy Program Consulting
Sugarpine works with several highly-qualified energy and water efficiency program designers, to provide Utilities, Governments, and NGOs with:
- Energy Program Planning and Management
- Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification (EM&V)
- Energy Auditing, Data Collection, and Implementation
- Market Studies, Technology Evaluations, and related services
