Services

Engineering Services for Charleston and the Southeast Since 1990.

We use proven techniques, customized designs and dedicated expertise to give us the edge in Engineering Design

We are experienced with all major HVAC concepts including split systems, VAV systems, VRF systems (like Mitsubishi), Geothermal, and chiller/boiler systems.  We have a good feel for relative costs and can advise the client the most cost effective way to go.  We are very comfortable with the most difficult of building renovations including historic building renovations. We are familiar with the various insulation types and envelope systems so the client can rest assured that the envelope will work with the HVAC system.  Humidity is a major concern that we fully address in all buildings and homes.  We have experience with diagnosing and fixing humidity problems in existing buildings.  HVAC is one of the most important items in buildings in regards to comfort and efficiency.  Our decades of experience allow us to get it right every time.

All of our engineers are active in suggesting Green Building design approaches whenever possible. Sustainable design is an important element that we believe exemplifies principles of good stewardship of our natural resources. This level of design is achieved through utilization of the U.S. Green Building Council LEED and ASHRAE’s “Standard 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings”.

Charleston Engineering works diligently to provide engineering solutions that are within the client’s budget and schedule requirements.

Charleston Engineering has provided services to many public and private clients for projects in South Carolina and around the country including professional licensure in Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia.

Charleston Engineering is pleased to offer systems integration services. The Automation and Controls Division is under the leadership of David Deden who has 17 years of experience serving industrial, utility, and marine customers world-wide. Our designs stand out in their concentration on redundancy, hardware quality, and global system compatibility.

Sustainable design is an important element that we believe exemplifies principles of good stewardship of our natural resources. Green Building design approaches are suggested whenever possible.  This level of design is achieved through utilization of the U.S. Green Building Council LEED and ASHRAE’s “Standard 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings”. When the project is not LEED, we follow the International Energy Code.Selection of equipment and systems for buildings not only include a life cycle evaluation type approach which considers first cost, energy efficiency, maintenance and recurring costs, but also many years of experience with MEP products including new technology offered today. Our office can help select the best equipment and systems to fit a building owner’s needs.
