IES Solutions

  • IES provided guidance and expertise with mechanical HVAC and plumbing systems during design, allowing the design-build mechanical contractor could focus their design/modeling efforts on supporting the process side.
  • Compressed design-build schedule with an integrated modeling collaboration approach with design-build contractor. 
  • Collaborated during the design process to develop an agreement on materials and equipment submittals to compress schedule for construction.
  • Developed commissioning plan for HVAC systems during design phase.
  • Provided construction support services including writing detailed test and air balancing and startup procedures for the custom cleanroom HVAC system.
