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, 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, specify, manage and/or operate/maintain HVAC systems. We identify these buildings professionals as either mechanical-systems engineering professionals or facility owners/operators.
