National HVAC Retrofit For store retrofits and planned unit replacements Turnkey construction management services from Engineering Excellence start with a nationwide network of contractors – mature in our standardized practices – and familiar with a commissioning criteria that assures chain-wide construction efficiency, consistency and building performance. The seamless efficiencies of our unique network simplify the complex processes that range from managing a single obsolescent unit at one facility to chain-wide retrofits at multiple stores across the country. The Engineering Excellence process begins with the “end-in-mind” ... namely, the cost and performance objectives you set for your stores. Whether you have a “fast track” schedule for a group of store remodels, a newly acquired location, an aging mechanical asset base, or special project list, we can develop programs that meet your most important requirements. Here are 4 distinct reasons why the Engineering Excellence National Network is uniquely qualified to handle turnkey retrofits for multi-site building owners undergoing remodel and refurbishment. 1. We’re Retail and Rooftop Specialists – We understand that cost is critical. We define efficient store design as store models that simplify the construction process, without sacrificing servicability after completion. If you seek a solution where a lower “first cost” is your priority, that will drive our efforts. Perhaps long term operating costs, or capital replacement costs are the objective, if so, an integrated approach employing night setback controls and energy saving features like Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) that fluctuates outside air requirements based on the load of people in your stores may be one of many desired solutions. Either way, as retail and rooftop specialist you’ll be assured of a well-thought-out solution that meets your performance criteria. 2. A Nationwide Network Bound By Common Practice & Commissioning Criteria – While many people claim to have a national network, in reality, you’re probably dealing with a loosely governed affiliation of independents – similar in name only. The Engineering Excellence contractor network is bound by a set of common practices, procedures, and costing structures that make construction project management of retrofits on a nationwide basis almost seamless.     3. Start Up – Commissioning – And Warranty Programs Most importantly, when the building is completed, the Engineering Excellence start up, commissioning and warranty process acts as insurance that the performance built into the design is actually built into the facility. We have started up and commissioned over 36,000 rooftop units across the United States so we know what we’re doing.

Buildings Designed By People Accountable for Maintenance and Energy Performance – Behind our construction group are the engineers, architects, and mechanical tradesmen that actually service and maintain retail facilities. We believe in our designs and systems and actually want to be accountable for how your store performs after construction. That vested interest in the store’s performance provides an advantage that can actually be measured after completion. When was the last time you heard of a construction firm that was willing to talk with you about the maintenance and energy performance of their buildings? Try us; it's one of our favorite topics!
