Engineering That Matters: Transforming Spaces with Purpose
At the heart of innovative design lies a commitment to engineering that truly matters. Projects like the Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion, the Bakar BioEnginuity Hub at the University of California Berkeley, the Nueva School at Bay Meadows’ Diane Rosenberg Wing in San Mateo, CA, and the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design showcase this dedication. These aren’t just buildings—they’re living examples of sustainable design, blending cutting-edge technology with architectural lighting design and a deep respect for the environment. Each project reflects a vision where engineering design meets real-world impact, creating spaces that inspire and endure.
Main Benefits: Leading the Charge in High-Performance Engineering
When it comes to high-performance engineering design, the numbers speak volumes. Here’s a quick snapshot of the impressive achievements and ongoing pursuits:
- 20 Living Buildings: 6 achieved and 14 pursuing
- 56 Net-Zero Energy projects: 15 achieved and 41 pursuing
- 100 All-Electric projects: 47 achieved and 53 pursuing
- 99 LEED Platinum certifications: 60 achieved and 39 pursuing
These figures highlight a relentless drive toward sustainability and excellence. It’s about pushing boundaries, embracing net zero and zero carbon goals, and setting new standards in the built environment.
Expanding Horizons: Boston, Meet PAE
With a fresh footprint on the East Coast, the Boston office brings over 30 years of combined experience in the New England market. This team is all about delivering expert MEP, lighting, technology, and all-electric solutions that align perfectly with Boston’s evolving needs. As decarbonization and resilient infrastructure become more than buzzwords—they’re essentials—PAE’s presence in Boston means bold, high-performance solutions are right around the corner.
Engineering That Supports Healthcare Staff and Patients
Healthcare environments demand more than just functional design—they require thoughtful engineering that strengthens infrastructure, minimizes risk and downtime, and ensures strict code compliance. From brand-new facilities to complex upgrades, the focus is clear: streamline clinical workflows so healthcare staff can zero in on what truly matters—patient care. This approach blends sustainability with practical, real-world needs, making a tangible difference in healthcare settings.
Driving Sustainability Through Innovation
At the core of these projects is a passion for sustainability. Whether it’s through living buildings, all-electric designs, or achieving LEED Platinum status, the commitment to the environment is unwavering. This isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about embracing the triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit. The integration of JUST principles and a focus on zero carbon solutions further underscore a holistic approach to sustainable design.
