Tom Peterson had been working in the HVAC industry for 14 years when he was asked, “Why don’t you build this in your garage?” This was the spark that ignited his and his wife Sue’s faith and passion to start Concepts and Designs, Inc. (CDI) in their home in 1991. 

Today CDI is a thriving company of over 200 employees. Thanks to those valued employees, CDI has grown by serving its customers well and building relationships based on honesty and integrity.

CDI designs and manufactures custom desiccant dehumidifiers and critical process air handlers for numerous markets including food processing, ice arenas, waste water treatment plants, pharmaceutical, automotive, rental, healthcare, aviation, lithium battery manufacturing and other niche markets requiring dry air climates. 

The Christian flag is proudly flown at CDI to show honor and appreciation to God for all that He has done.  As we celebrated 30 years of doing business in 2021 and our new corporate name  - Climate by Design International, Tom and Sue believe the best is yet to come!
