About Us
read moreInternally, we look out for each other and the spaces we occupy-inside and out. And the same applies to our work. We design high-performing buildings that keep people comfortable, healthy, and productive inside, while restoring the natural world outside. We work with our clients to design the nation's highest performing built environments. For some sectors this means net positive buildings, for other sectors Net Zero, for others better learning environments, project pro forma financial goals or a combination of these.
Architectural lighting design
read moreLuma is the architectural lighting design team of PAE. Shaping and controlling light to provide positive, humanistic experiences in architecture is at the core of our design practice. From simple daylit structures to highly integrated and interactive electric lighting and control systems, our designers employ design strategies and technologies that fit the unique requirements of each client. From concept to execution, our design process is highly collaborative, inherently sustainable, and more than a little fun.
Building analysis and modeling
read moreOur high-performance building analysis and modeling (BAM) services are an essential part of the design process. We provide our clients with the data they need to make informed choices about construction budgets as well as indoor environmental quality; employee productivity; and energy, water, and carbon conservation. We lead workshops to communicate the relative merits of environmental-conservation strategies, and we work with project teams to establish measurable goals and a path in how to achieve them.
Commissioning services
read morePAE's goal for commissioning is to provide owners with fully functional buildings that can be operated and maintained as economically as possible. To maximize efficiency, we work together with owners' representatives, contractors, design engineers, and manufacturers. PAE offers commissioning services during the design, construction, and post-occupancy phases of projects. We also perform retro-commissioning for existing buildings, which gives us insight into how systems perform over time.
Electrical engineering
read morePAE's electrical systems are tailored to each owner's project requirements and adaptable enough to meet future needs. We work collaboratively with a variety of stakeholders to develop innovative lighting, control, power, and distribution solutions that match the needs of the built environment and the people who work there.
Sustainable Engineering Services
read morePAE provides mechanical and electrical engineering design services, as well as technology and lighting design, for projects ranging from greenfield buildings to retrofits to historic renovations. We also offer related services such as commissioning, comfort analysis, envelope optimization, carbon-footprint and water-cycle analysis, and energy modeling. In everything we do, we prioritize quality and work responsibly, while keeping a close eye on cost and sustainability.
Technology design
read morePAE's technology consulting group works in partnership with our clients to provide tailored solutions that are reliable and robust. We design systems that allow the built environment to connect, collaborate, and inspire. We listen to each user group and design intuitive audiovisual systems, dynamic wired and wireless communications infrastructure, local area networks, and physical security.
