Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering designs the systems that condition, ventilate, and exhaust air in commercial buildings — HVAC systems, kitchen exhaust and make-up air, industrial ventilation, specialty process systems, and energy code compliance. Apex Grid mechanical engineers produce PE-stamped permit drawings for commercial, restaurant, medical, industrial, and multifamily projects.

What We Engineer

Mechanical engineering in building construction focuses on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems — the equipment and ductwork that control temperature, humidity, ventilation, and air quality inside buildings. Commercial mechanical engineering is significantly more complex than residential HVAC because of code requirements for outdoor air, exhaust rates, energy efficiency, and specialty systems like commercial kitchen exhaust. Apex Grid mechanical engineers design systems that perform correctly, comply with energy codes, and pass plan check the first time.
