We are a full mechanical engineering organization that specializes in sustainability and design. We love what we do and we love working with people like you.
our industries
At OED, we have a very diverse portfolio. From multi-family, healthcare, life-sciences, and data centers, to office, retail and other commercial spaces that require clear system goals and design aesthetics, our teams have worked with hundreds of clients over thousands of customized projects. We know what it takes to create customized solutions that combine technical, environmental, and specific design goals to meet the client’s needs.
data centers
data centers, operating facilities, & telecom
These are 24/7 facilities operating around the globe are the new backbone of todays economy. We engineer these mission-critical facilities to ensure that they perform on the required security, up-time, ease of use, and also sustainable benchmarks. We understand the vital importance of impeccable engineered systems for these facilities.
civic facilities
municipal facilities & fire stations
Civic engineering is tailored towards public projects that represent specific community needs and values. From libraries to community centers, government buildings to schools, our firm has a plethora of experience that take into account design factors specific to municipalities. We have lead the way on multiple LEED awarded projects for civic faculties and always love working within our communities.
k-12 education
elementary, middle, & high school facilities
Our approach to K-12 educational projects is to truly create an environment that provides the best opportunity for learning. As the speed of change in education continues to exponentially grow, educational institutions are always seeking for ways to help them evolve and integrate programs, consolidate and use space efficiently, and plan flexibility for education delivery. We apply our experience to design and address these issues with our education clients.
entertainment
entertainment facilities & family amusement
With our experience in both the large and small scale entertainment industry, we work to engineer specifically towards tailored goals. Our knowledge of working with these types of spaces enables us to design our systems with the appropriate audiences in mind. In turn, this gives our work a finished and educated result.
healthcare
hospitals, medical facilities, & clinics
The hospital and healthcare facilities of today are rapidly moving towards more sustainable, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally friendly buildings. We draw on our experience from retail, hospitality, mixed use, and critical facilities, to engineer healthcare projects for the future. The ability to look into the future, learn from that past, and incorporate into current solutions is what our firm specializes in. Healthcare projects requires just that.
higher education
uc schools, colleges, universities, & student housing
Our housing projects for urban, high rises, mixed use, and college campuses involve varying degrees of complexity given the projects design parameters. From HVAC, hydronic, and or natural ventilation, our engineers have achieved LEED silver and gold certified projects. We bring a wealth of market experience to our housing work, delivery smart solutions that exceed client expectations.
hospitality & senior facilities
hotels & senior housing facilities
Within engineering for hospitality, albeit in today mixed use or more classical hospitality channels, there are always two goals to keep in mind – the end user, and the owner. We shape our engineering design process around both. Ensuring that we keep to the ethos and vision of the owner’s clientele experience, but also work to achieve the desired budget, timelines, and benchmark ROI’s. Senior living facilities are of critical safety importance, and we understand the measures needed to be taken for these projects. We engineer our design to meet the needs of the client while also being aware and taking precaution of the sensitivity of potential residences in these centers. From all aspects of our work, we work to ensure the particular needs.
multi family
apartments & multi-family housing facilities
Our mixed-use projects are unique because of the nature of their versatility. For these facilities, engineering design is often executed in an occupied space, furthering our experience in working alongside of non-participating populations.
high tech
laboratories & distribution facilities
Our investment in ever-changing technology is demonstrated in the lab and high tech facilities in which we engage in. From corporate campuses to aviation, entertainment to mixed-use, or energy and transportation projects, technology is changing the face of these facilities. Work environments, customized spaces, and employee interactions are all changing. We have to design and engineer our systems around these movements to continually push the boundaries of commercial facilities for the 22nd century – designing for the future.
office
retail
worship
industrial & business work spaces
retail buildings & restaurants
worship & church facilities
The versatility of office buildings are extremely important to us, being that we have experienced working on several different types of work spaces. Engineering our design to fit the needs of employees and working to help better facilitate both individual and collaborative work spaces are determining factors to what we do.
We know that retail is no longer just about the product on the shelf; it is about the relationship between a brand and its users – the whole retail experience is what the consumer is after. As such, we design and engineer with this in mind. A cohesive strategy between product, space, brand, and aesthetics is always in the front of minds when working with retail clients.
Because worship facilities and centers are critical places of gathering and communal participation, our work serves to best fit what is determined to be the most effective design. From mega churches to smaller congregational facilities, we work to understand the needs of the client.
