DEC Engineering is an innovative consultancy working at the forefront of sustainable systems design and construction and dedicated to the optimal use of recoverable and renewable thermal energy for use in single buildings to community energy systems. With the growing concern for sustainability in both the construction of structures and the development of community infrastructure, DEC has developed
valuable expertise in providing comprehensive and often elegant solutions to a project’s energy and sustainability challenges. To maximize the environmental and economic benefits of a project DEC works with the client and consultant team to develop efficient systems that leverage architectural design elements and the latest energy and water efficient technologies. The inspiration, for DEC’s revolutionary low-temperature energy-sharing innovations, stems from over 30 years experience designing and developing efficient building systems. DEC’s design philosophy has always been about balance – a balanced building system that maximizes shared heating and cooling energy requires the least amount of energy input. And now, DEC has been able to apply building-balancing techniques on a community-wide scale, minimizing total community energy requirements. The end result is the most advanced District Energy Sharing System design in the world. To every project, whether a DESS scheme or a more traditional one, a single building or a whole community, DEC brings the knowledge, experience, and integrity by which it has earned its reputation for excellence and professionalism. For over 30 years, DEC has provided multi-disciplinary, mechanical engineering leadership and excellence in the areas of: Building Systems, Sustainability Engineering, Building Automation, District Energy, Energy Management, Water Management, Environmental Planning, and Infrastructure.
