John Koch

John Koch serves as an Associate Partner at JB&B. He has worked as an Electrical Engineer on a wide variety of projects spanning numerous industry sectors, including healthcare, life science, building infrastructure upgrades, commercial office, and financial. As part of JB&B’s healthcare team, he has played a significant role in some of the city’s most prestigious and multi-faceted medical centers, including the Memorial Sloan Kettering, Hospital for Special Surgery, and NYU Langone Health campuses in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island.

Mr. Koch’s comprehensive grasp of electrical engineering is complemented by the enthusiasm and expertise with which he applies it to complex design challenges. He is particularly adept at negotiating the balance between addressing a client’s immediate needs and intuiting project needs that may not present themselves for another ten to fifteen years. It’s this commanding sense of the industry and of his craft that has afforded him the ability to factor non-engineering elements into uniquely future-flexible designs. Understanding that the patient experience is central to every healthcare project, he’s a staunch advocate of using building intelligence technologies to provide patients with more control, from adjusting the room temperature and ordering the day’s meals to obtain diagnosis information or video-chatting with the nurse on call.

As a key player in the firm’s healthcare sector, Mr. Koch has been afforded the opportunity to speak on many national and regional panels, the most recent being ASHE’s PDC Summit in New Orleans on the “The Crossover Medical Office Building”. He has also co-authored articles that have been published in Engineered Systems (ES) as well as HFM Magazine, establishing his voice on an industry-wide level.

Mr. Koch is a licensed Professional Engineer in the States of California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the U.S. Green Building Council. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Manhattan College.
