Geothermal / Sustainable Designs

Steen Engineering has successfully incorporated award-winning alternative designs into educational, municipal, commercial and residential facilities. Geothermal systems take advantage of the constant temperature of the earth. As energy costs continue to rise, this alternative method of heating and cooling a building becomes more energy efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective than conventional approaches.

Sustainable design offers a facility the benefits of a smaller ecological footprint, higher building efficiency, better control of engineered systems and improved air quality.  Collectively, these factors enhance a working or living environment and effectively balance all elements essential to improved conservation, facility budgets and ongoing maintenance.
