Designing for Resilience, Sustainability, and Efficiency
Glumac’s integrated MEP teams design building systems that optimize every level of building impact, while maintaining the beauty and integrity of the architecture. Working in concert with our Sustainability consulting and Building Performance groups, our MEP team is pushing the envelope in sustainable, low-carbon, and resilient building design, meeting the triple bottom line of People/Planet/Profit.

Our Approach
Sustainable Building Design
We believe a low carbon future is achievable and can be delivered through the built environment. We work with clients to determine low energy and carbon approaches through systems design and materials selection, and integrate with Glumac's MEP teams to ensure client sustainability goals are met or exceeded.
Water is a crucial resource, and one that in many parts of the country is becoming more scarce as the impacts of climate change increase. From rainwater harvesting systems to artificial tidal wetlands, our team has designed water reuse systems that mitigate environmental impacts while saving clients long term on water-related costs.
We now spend 90 percent of our lives indoors. These spaces we occupy must not only improve their environment, but they also need to improve the lives of the occupants. Our nature-inspired biophilic design approach works with systems design and architecture to improve indoor air quality, access to daylighting, and to mitigate the spread of bacteria.
