AIR. POWER. LIGHT. WATER.

We’ve been bringing air, power, light and water to the places that matter for 65 years. We do it creatively. We do it efficiently. We do it sustainably. And we do it in a manner that provides extraordinary value to everyone involved with the project, from the architect to the end user.

Amazing spaces don’t happen by accident. They happen when architects and engineers deeply and meaningfully connect. At Emanuelson-Podas, we believe in the power of connections. We believe in the importance of effectively communicating. We believe that – together – they encompass the core of true partnership.

In all we do, we strive to deliver inspired, expert building system solutions to the architects, building owners, and contractors with whom we work. The core of our work resides in providing exceptional mechanical, electrical and plumbing design, and delivering unsurpassed energy modeling, refrigeration engineering, and building commissioning services.
