Buildings Professionals
Buildings professionals are those individuals who are responsible for designing, constructing, operating and maintaining commercial, industrial and institutional facilities. They can be responsible for a variety of systems that are all integral to a building's success, including electrical systems, security systems, HVAC systems and others.

Because HPAC ENGINEERING's niche is mechanical systems, our database includes only those buildings professionals who design and specify HVAC-related systems, components, equipment, products, services and technology: mechanical-systems professionals.

For our purposes, then, buildings professional equals mechanical-systems professional.

Mechanical-Systems Professionals by Business & Occupation
Mechanical-systems professionals fall into three primary categories. Within each of those categories, they work in a variety of related capacities, all of which involve designing, specifying, selecting, installing, commissioning, and/or maintaining mechanical systems for C/I/I buildings.

Engineering & Architecture
- Consulting Engineers
- Architectural Firms

Independent consulting engineer and architectural firms offer mechanical services such as design, specification, commissioning and assessment. Some also help procure financial arrangements, utility services and construction project management.

The HPAC ENGINEERING database includes more than 16,000 individuals in this category.

Construction & Contracting
- Design/Build Contractors
- Mechanical Contractors
- Engineering/Construction Firms

These firms have design engineers on staff and often work directly with building owners and their mechanical engineers on all phases of mechanical-systems engineering, from design through construction.

The HPAC ENGINEERING database includes more than 13,000 individuals in this category.

Building Ownership & Management
- Owners, CEOs, CFOs
- Owner-Operator Engineers
- Industrial/Processing/Manufacturing Firms
- Commercial/Institutional/Government Firms

This group includes owner-operator engineers who are employed by building owners to direct a firm's new construciton, retrofit, modernization and O/M/R (operations, maintenance and repair) programs. Owner-operator engineers also manage utility and service contracts. Owner-operator engineers, such as the chief mechanical engineer for a retailer or restaurant chain, can – and do – make decisions affecting thousands of buildings.

The HPAC ENGINEERING database includes more than 24,000 individuals in this category.

The Mechanical-Engineering Professional: the Decision Maker You Need to Reach!
Whatever category the mechanical-systems professional falls into, he or she designs heating, air conditioning, ventilation, piping and other mechanical systems and specifies which brands of products should be installed in those systems. And, while he or she may not always make the actual purchase, the vast majority of the time, the equipment the mechanical-systems professional specifies is what ultimately is installed.
