CES has over 50 years of experience partnering with state, county, and local municipal agencies. We specialize in MEP and fire protection design as well as commissioning for public safety facilities, judicial centers, and administrative buildings, ensuring full compliance with requirements set forth from the North Carolina State Construction Office (SCO) and/or North Carolina Department of Public Instruction as well as public bidding laws.
For "Critical Environment" projects like law enforcement centers and detention facilities, CES integrates specialized MEP systems. This includes high-reliability emergency power, secure HVAC zoning to prevent cross-contamination, and advanced fire suppression systems designed for high-security areas.
Yes. We are leaders in sustainable educational design, having engineered systems for the first LEED Gold school in the U.S. (Third Creek Elementary). Our designs focus on geothermal heat pumps, high-efficiency lighting, and energy recovery systems that reduce long-term operational costs for school districts and universities.
At CES we have implemented hundreds of "Learning Environment" engineering projects, which focus on acoustic control, indoor air quality (IAQ), and thermal comfort. By reducing background noise from HVAC systems and ensuring proper CO2 ventilation, our MEP designs help improve student focus and teacher well-being.

Ensure your systems perform as designed from day one to year thirty.
