VP of Commissioning and Sustainability Services
Allen + Shariff is uniquely suited to provide outstanding commissioning and sustainability services. Our AABC Commissioning Group (ACG) certified commissioning authorities come from an engineering environment and background and are supported by a team of registered Professional Engineers and designers to ensure the facility design meets the Owner’s project requirements. This, coupled with our CxA’s comprehensive field experience, allows us to provide first rate CxA services to our clients by utilizing these resources to provide high quality design/design intent input, design reviews, value engineering analysis, submittal reviews, Cx specification preparation and system performance analysis and troubleshooting.
From a sustainability perspective, Allen + Shariff develops and implements energy conservation plans using a proven approach that maximizes efficiency and project payback while minimizing future operational costs and downtime. Members of our team have assisted clients in saving millions of dollars via energy consultation and design implementation. Our team’s action plans will be tailored to meet individual project and client efficiency, sustainability, and budget goals. Our sustainability goals include saving the planet and also providing savings for the owner. Not just being Green but also operating in the Green.
“Working with Allen + Shariff on our Energy Star Certification for all our commercial properties was both easy and informative. We have worked with multiple vendors in the past on energy savings related projects and can honestly say this was the first group that not only took care of the work but also took work off my plate to get the project completed. They also helped me learn more about the system usage; making it easier to maintain moving forward. I would recommend them for any of your energy savings related projects.” – Robert T. Casteel Jr., Peel Properties
