Energy Audit

VBFA’s energy audits help identify areas for energy efficiency improvements in buildings. By analyzing energy usage data, we offer insights into energy-saving opportunities, upgrade options, and new strategies. Our audits deliver a detailed analysis of problem areas and recommendations for systems based on building occupant patterns.

LEED Design

“We are often saddened and shocked by the devastation of uncontrolled fire spread through a built environment. Each day, my team and I envelop ourselves in the challenge of designing and coordinating fire protection systems, knowing that every single system adds an additional layer to reducing the risk of a costly fire and increases layers of life safety.”

– Sean Tingey, F.P.E., Licensed Fire Protection Engineer
