HIGH-PERFORMANCE DESIGN IN EVERY PROJECT

Since our founding in 1980, we’ve built our reputation around an innovative design approach we call ThermalTech High-Performance Buildings™. This approach delivers practical, cost-effective buildings and energy systems that achieve superior long-term energy and environmental performance.

This approach is so successful that we’ve trademarked our process. ThermalTech has developed over 150 high-performance design concepts that are practical and easy to build, maintain, and operate. (more)

ThermalTech High-Performance Buildings™ starts with an integrative design process that includes collaboration with the customer and other design team members to select the best concepts and reduce loads/costs. This process includes:

• Planning and design coordination
• Design charettes
• System integration
• Computer simulation of building and energy systems
• Life-cycle cost analysis of design options and life-cycle based equipment selection 
• Design techniques that carry through to allow better facility management after construction is complete

We design to achieve high performance on every project.  Project costs can be less than conventional design, and life-cycle operating costs are substantially less.

Our numerous awards, which include 4 national and 7 regional ASHRAE Technology Awards, are evidence of our commitment to helping customers.  

High-performance design can include the LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) sustainable approach promoted by the U.S. Green Building Council. ThermalTech has completed many LEED® projects, including the first LEED® Silver project in Ohio. We were the first engineering firm to have LEED® Accredited Professionals in Ohio and Michigan. More than 20% of our technical staff has earned this credential -- a measure of our commitment to sustainable design.

ThermalTech is an active member of the USGBC and serves on the Executive Committee that founded the SW Ohio Chapter.
