Achieving
Sustainable
Design

2. The role of engineering consulting services in an era where
sustainability is not anymore a luxury but rather a necessity
has become more critical. For eco-friendly buildings to be
constructed and operated, it is necessary to have innovative
designs and expertise for the implementation and
optimization of complex systems that enhance energy
efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. Budlong is one
of the leading firms that specialize in providing engineering
consulting services in this regard. This article provides insight
into how Budlong’s engineering consulting services
contribute to environmentally friendly building designs as
well as their wider implications towards sustainability.

3. The Growing Importance of Engineering Consulting
Services in Sustainable Design
Sustainable design refers to an interdisciplinary approach aimed at minimizing negative effects
on environment from buildings while improving the health and comfort of occupants. To
achieve this balance, one needs to grasp the concepts related to energy ideas, material
science, legal regulations, and environmental certifications. In order for sustainable building
systems to be conceptualized, designed implemented and managed effectively, engineering
consultancy firms play a significant role in this cycle.
Budlong’s engineering consulting services have been developed with the aim of addressing
complexities associated with sustainable building design. The company offers full scopes of
service that enable customers navigate through challenges faced when creating green
buildings making sure they comply with both regulatory norms as well as sustainability targets.

4. Budlong’s Engineering Consulting Services for
Sustainable Design
Energy management systems (EMS) are central to sustainable building
operation. These systems monitor, control and optimize energy usage so
that buildings operate efficiently while minimizing waste in terms energy
use. Among Budlong’s engineering consulting services is designing
tailored state-of-the-art EMS for every project they undertake.
Energy Management Systems: Optimizing Efficiency

5. By incorporating advanced sensors, controls and analytics into its
products, Budlong’s EMS delivers real-time insights into consumption
patterns thus helping operators make informed decisions regarding
reducing energy uses which lower operating costs too. Also scalable,
these solutions can easily accommodate clients’ evolving power needs
thereby supporting their green objectives.
A good example Budlong’s specialization in EMS is the project on a huge
commercial office building located in Chicago. Thanks to application of
personalized EMS, the energy consumption in this facility was reduced
by 25% which resulted in considerable cost and carbon savings.

6. Metering and utility rate analysis are integral parts of energy
management. Through correct metering, building operators can keep
track of their electricity consumption right down to the last unit while
utility rate analysis is used to identify ways of reducing costs through
appropriate energy procurement strategies. Therefore, Budlong’s
engineering consultancy offers both metering services and utility rate
analysis for effective energy cost management.
Metering and Utility Rate Analysis: Maximizing Cost Savings

7. Budlong approaches its metering through installation of Advanced Metering
Infrastructure (AMI) that uses real time information about power usage
patterns. As a result, this helps save money by identifying trends for price
reductions within that data pool. Additionally, Budlong conducts analyses of
utility rates to propose the most economically priced tariff structures and
extra incentives that promote better use of electric power units.
Moreover, Budlong used its expertise in metering as well as utility rate
analysis on a recent Texas based health facility project where these services
led to 15% reduction in terms of overall electricity expenses. By optimizing
the facility’s energy procurement strategy and identifying opportunities for
load shifting, Budlong helped the client achieve significant savings while
maintaining high levels of energy efficiency.

8. When it comes to making buildings more sustainable, thermal energy
storage (TES) is a principal technology. During periods of high energy
demand, TES systems store excess energy in the form of heat or cold
that can then be utilized. This reduces the necessity for additional energy
generation, decreases operational costs and enhances overall efficiency
of building’s energy systems.
Thermal Energy Storage: Upping the Sustainability Quotient

9. As part of Budlong’s engineering consulting services, we provide tailored
TES system designs and implementation to meet individual project needs.
By carefully examining the pattern of a building’s energy use, Budlong
engineers are able to develop TES systems that minimize power
consumption and environmental impact.
A university campus in Florida was one of Budlong’s successful TES projects
where a thermal energy storage system was installed. It stores excess
electricity generated by the campus photovoltaic(PV) system during the day
and uses it to cool buildings at peak hours. As a result, there has been an
impressive 20% cut in power usage coupled with significant reduction in
carbon footprint for this particular institution.

10. One issue that architects have when they are trying to achieve
sustainable building design is dealing with complex regulatory landscape.
Environmental regulations differ from one place to another and also vary
over time as well as across regions hence posing one big challenge
towards achievement of such designs. In addition, attaining
environmental certifications like LEED, WELL and Net-Zero requires
understanding their specific requirements and criteria fully.
Budlong’s Expertise: Navigating Complex Regulatory Landscapes

11. That’s why our engineering consulting services focuses on helping clients navigate
through these hurdles without much trouble. The company has an expert team on board
who keeps themselves abreast with latest changes taking place in regulations as well as
certification standards so that all projects undertaken by clients can conform to relevant
guidelines accordingly. Moreover, Budlong advises its customers on how to incorporate
features that do not only match certification criteria but also adhere to sustainable
design principles and help them meet their environmental objectives.
For instance, Budlong played a central role in assisting a major hotel chain in California to
secure LEED certification for a new property. On energy efficiency measures, water
conservation strategies and green building materials, the firm offered comprehensive
guidelines that led to the attainment of LEED Gold certification by the client thereby
establishing it as one of the most sustainable properties within this locality.

12. Green structures are not just for show; they actually do embody high
levels of sustainability, energy efficiency and enhanced occupant
health. This implies that obtaining such certifications is dependent on
thinking through how these elements can be incorporated into
planning, design and implementation processes that make such
buildings possible which have always been supported by engineering
consulting services.
Why Engineering Consulting Services are Essential in Environmental Certifications

13. It’s worth noting that Budlong has managed to build a name when it comes to
getting environmental certifications. The company has had clients whose
projects have gone through the entire certification process successfully
helping them achieve LEED, WELL, Net-Zero among others which are some of
the ones they have guided their customers through.
The corporate headquarters for a company located in Denver Colorado stands
out among other achievements of Budlong so far. It was designed with two
certificates in mind – both LEED Platinum and WELL Building standards. Other
things done by Budlong’s engineering consulting services were developing
efficient energy systems necessary for indoor use only as well as policies on
conservation of clean water. The outcome was therefore an outstanding
building which attained both awards while setting new regional benchmarks
in terms of eco-friendliness.
