Services

At Gipe Associates, Inc. our philosophy is to design quiet, high-performance, energy-efficient building systems for new construction and renovation projects. Our capabilities focus on engineering design and consulting for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, both interior to the building as well as campus wide utilities. Our services range from peer reviews, planning and assessments to full systems design, contract administration, commissioning, and expert investigation/witness services.

Based on AABC Commissioning Group’s best practices, we’ve developed a thorough commissioning process. We don’t believe in sampling, because you cannot expect what you don’t inspect! We encourage commissioning services to ensure systems are operating as intended.

Commissioning

Using unique and innovative design techniques along with engineering fundamentals we develop engineering solutions that fit each individual scope challenge. We are a leader in employing LEED strategies to achieve energy efficient buildings while maintaining serviceability & simplicity. Download our Sustainability Listing Here.

LEED & Sustainable Design

As MEP experts with extensive knowledge of state and local codes, we offer expert investigations, testimony and advice for litigation involving plumbing, heating, ventilating and air conditioning, and geothermal systems. Expert investigations, reports and testimony are utilized by law firms, insurance companies, and owners in litigation trials, arbitrations, and betterment negotiations.

Expert Investigations & Expert Witness

Through field surveys, life cycle costs analyses, and systems evaluations, our detailed facility assessments create a road map enabling our clients to prioritize their minor and capital projects based on urgency and budget.

Facility Assessments & Feasibility Studies

As the MEP partner in a large-scale master plan, we often include assessments of the physical condition of building systems, assessment of the campus utilities, code compliance evaluations, and recommendations to improve systems & equipment energy efficiency.

What Our Clients Say...

Project: WorWic Community College Applied Technology Building Salisbury, MD

For the fundamental and enhanced commissioning associated with LEED v4, it’s my understanding that a commissioning agent needs to do a design review of the DDs and CDs.  They will look at the MEP system design to make sure it meets the Owner’s Program Requirements, serviceability, efficiencies, etc.  (Fortunately we have GIPE as the designer so you already know it will be great.)
