In 1998, I started kW Engineering as a two-person firm with a singular vision: to become the leading technical experts at saving money in buildings by saving energy and water.

Long before “sustainability” and “renewables” became popular buzzwords, kW Engineering was cutting its teeth in campus central plants and the aisles of data centers.  We treat every project as an opportunity to showcase our expertise, further refine our craft, and strengthen our reputation by delivering results at the meter and on the bill.

I am proud that my team’s results speak for themselves. With hundreds of satisfied long-term clients, we have steadily grown into a recognized leader in the energy industry with a dedicated technical staff of over 50 engineers.

While new firms have entered the market in the past few years and others have left or been acquired by large corporations, kW Engineering has remained a private and independent company, beholden only to our customers’ best interests.

We deliberately seek out only those opportunities where we can deliver results and build strong professional relationships that will last beyond our next 15 years.
