Mechanical Systems Engineering
Our mechanical systems engineering incorporates technical analysis of energy use considerations, available technologies, and environmental impact to deliver complete, well-defined highly functioning mechanical systems.
Electrical Systems Engineering
Our electrical systems engineering seeks sustainable solutions that are practical and economical for both the long and short term. We provide valuable input to our clients regarding the use of new lamp technologies, lighting control strategies, and energy efficient products that can be incorporated into the electrical design while keeping budget and maintainability in mind.
Piping/Plumbing Systems Engineering
Our plumbing systems engineering is based on thorough analysis, design expertise, construction oversight, and site planning. We incorporate innovative solutions to water use, re-use, and retention when possible, maintaining our commitment to sustainable designs.
Master Planning
Our multiphase master planning process consists of an initial planning phase which identifies distinctive site issues that may impact systems criteria. The second phase considers energy usage, and system lifecycle and flexibility. In every phase TRK Enginnering identifies design alternatives so the team can make appropriate decisions. |

Commissioning
Our commissioning group adds structure, form, and substance to the process of construction. Our process follows ASHRAE, PECI, NEBB, and AGC/AABC guidelines. Our experience and background leads to improved procedures and guidelines for a proactive, continuous flow, daily approach to component verification, startup, functional testing, and system testing. This process provides quality, “as designed” functioning systems on time and on budget for the building owner. Our specific services also include design reviews both from a commissionability /constructability perspective as well as a more detailed full PEER review. We also now provide architectural envelope commissioning as well as energy modeling of existing operations that support measurement and verification of operating facilities. In addition, we align with the LEED process as outlined in the Pre-requisite and Enhanced LEED commissioning requirements. We also can provide forensic engineering services that augment our commissioning experience and provides owners an engineering versed means to analysis of field installation and operational issues. Our commissioning approach is service based and operationally focused. Learn More » Download PDF
Fire Protection & Life Safety
Creative design requires creative fire and life safety solutions. TRK Enginnering’s fire protection/life safety group provides these solutions through code consulting, building audits and surveys, fire protection system design, and litigation support. As active participants in the code development process, we can develop equivalent solutions and negotiate their acceptance with code officials. Building assessments lead to the development of effective fire protection master plans for renovation and expansions. Our performance-based designs for fire and life safety building systems assure the systems properly meet the fire safety needs and objectives of complex facilities. |
Sustainable Design
Our dedication to sustainable engineering and “healthy” building design is rooted in all aspects of the work that we do. TRK Enginnering has over 50 LEED professionals on staff. Our commitment to sustainable design and our dedication to our profession has enabled us to pioneer green solutions for even the most demanding industries. Using an interactive and participatory design process, we work with key stakeholders to create environments that enhance human health and productivity. Our expertise includes knowledge in water use, waste management, energy efficiency, day lighting, indoor air quality, passive heating and cooling, alternative energy generation, efficient lighting and mechanical solutions. ad P
Energy Solutions
TRK Enginnering’s comprehensive approach to consulting, conceptual development and analysis, design and delivery of new high performance buildings, is highlighted by low energy utilization. Furthermore, this holistic approach means onsite energy production with thermal cycle optimization in buildings that is the core of sustainable energy design.
The primary energy business sectors are defined as follows:
- High efficiency design
- Building energy modeling and CFD case modeling
- Facility assessment
- Facility energy managementn Mo
Sustainable Lighting Design
We understand lighting can influence architectural design. Our ability to communicate sustainable design options to our clients is enhanced by the use of high quality rendered visualization and lighting calculations. |

Data, Telecom & Low Voltage System Design
Our sustainable design approach begins with the understanding that the communication world is comprised of ever-changing technologies. Systems including horizontal and riser cable plants, communications rooms, and campus wide plant design for low voltage systems must anticipate growth and change to come. System designs include Nurse Call, Patient Monitoring/Telemetry, CCTV/Access Control, Security and CATV/SATV.
Building Due Diligence Evaluations & Inspections Surveys
Evaluating existing facilities requires a high level of knowledge on how buildings function. Our engineering approach is to determine how the facility was designed and built to function; understand how the facility is expected to function, and evaluate the systems and equipment that are inhibiting that performance. To that end our engineering team provides a thorough investigation of all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection equipment (as well as other related systems) and devices to identify performance capability and life expectancy.
Energy Modeling
TRK Enginnering recognizes that in order to optimize a building’s design we must lead the way through an iterative process of complex energy consumption estimations in order to achieve our collective energy efficiency and sustainable architecture goals. One of the chief factors in determining life cycle performance and sustainability of a building design is the building’s overall energy consumption. |
