Decarbonization

We resolve the “where to begin” problem. Our team of experts conducts in-depth campus-wide assessments and portfolio analyses to develop a realistic, long-range roadmap for your transition to carbon-free systems. We engage key stakeholders early, ask the right questions about power availability and operational needs, and create a phased plan that aligns with your budget and minimizes disruption.

Our in-house engineering team, one of the largest and most experienced in the Pacific Northwest, accels in innovative and cost-effective sustainable design for your mechanical systems. We deliver solutions that can achieve up to a 90% carbon reduction, ensuring cleaner combustion, lower energy costs, and reduced emissions.

Transitioning large campuses and central utility plants off fossil fuels is a complex challenge, driven by corporate ESG goals and emerging regulations like Washington and Oregon’s Building Performance Standards. MacDonald-Miller specializes in engineering and executing these large-scale infrastructure upgrades, turning your decarbonization goals into an actionable, constructible reality.

You can’t optimize what you don’t measure. Our energy modeling and analytics services establish a baseline for your portfolio, accounting for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and helping you understand your carbon footprint. This data-driven approach allows us to model the impact of various Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs), calculate potential carbon reductions, and provide the financial analysis needed to justify your investment.

A truly sustainable building supports both the planet and the people inside it. We integrate healthy building principles into our projects, focusing on factors like indoor air quality, ventilation, and occupant comfort. Our expertise extends to supporting green building certifications and initiatives like LEED, Fitwel, and the MEP 2040 pledge ensuring your facility is efficient, healthy, and a place where people can thrive.

MacMiller facilitates a detailed simulation process that creates a digital twin of your building(s) to analyze its energy performance. This service helps building owners and engineers make data-driven decisions on upgrades, inform decarbonization strategies, secure incentives, and ensure compliance with energy regulations.

We guide you through the entire electrification process. Our services go beyond simple equipment replacement to include assessing and upgrading electrical facility capacity for heat pump systems and EV chargers. We design and install the necessary infrastructure to support a zero-emission fleet, ensuring your entire operation is ready for the future.
