Ever evolving codes and standards, along with the correlation between a healthy indoor environment and productivity, have made HVAC design a crucial issue in all buildings. Our design professionals take into consideration comfort control, indoor air quality, system operating efficiency, and noise before selecting and designing your HVAC system. Loftus understands that comfort goes far beyond controlling temperature. Humidity, ventilation rates, building pressurization, and vibration control are all crucial aspects to maintaining optimal indoor conditions.Plumbing and fire protection systems are critical elements to a building's operation and safety. These systems, once taken for granted, are advancing as new and important ways to save energy and protect the investment in your building and property.

The building system that most impact the user on a daily basis is the electrical system. Electrical systems are a necessary part of any building and include power, lighting, fire, security, data, cable and video wiring. The dependence on computers and data devices necessitate the need for special care in grounding to avoid harmonic distortion and related wiring problems. Lighting is a vital element in achieving the desired indoor environment. Loftus engineers design pleasing lighting schemes while keeping energy efficiency and high utilization at the forefront of the design.

The Loftus Structural Engineering Staff provides expertise in all types of building projects including precast and cast-in-place concrete, steel, masonry, timber, and composite systems. The utilization of advanced design software coupled with our experienced staff results in reliable, efficient design for our clients. Recognizing the key interplay of structure with architectural design, we encourage an exchange of ideas between the architectural and structural design teams to blend form and function from the beginning of a project.
