Mechanical Engineering

Our team has a wealth of experience with a focus on energy efficient and environmentally responsible solutions for our clients. We use our experience to show long-term cost savings for short-term increases in expenditure and allow clients to make informed decisions, rather than driving decisions based on immediate costs.

The Pretium Way

Pretium’s Mechanical Engineering team is focused on delivering  energy efficient, cost saving, and technically and environmentally sound solutions. We take a creative and collaborative approach, often thinking outside traditional methods to find the best outcomes. Our constant collaboration with our Building Science and Energy and Carbon teams allows us to provide deeper insight to guide our clients and best prioritize building upgrades.

The insight gained from energy modeling often leads to the reprioritization of building upgrades and maximizes energy impact, while reducing the need for interim design steps and creating cost savings.
