EAB serves as the owner’s advocate throughout the programming, design, construction, and warranty phases.
While healthcare facilities vary in size and complexity, the primary purpose of these facilities is to care for the well-being of people. The need for Healthcare Facility Commissioning is paramount to ensure the operation of a facility protects patients and staff in accordance with the engineering design intent and the goals of the building owner or operator.
EAB recognizes and understands the innate complexity of the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and life safety systems in today’s modern healthcare facilities. Our dedicated Building Commissioning Team works to ensure the engineering design intent is achieved and maintained through the vital service of healthcare facility commissioning.
EAB proudly serves K-12 schools and has worked with over 100 school districts throughout the State of Texas.
Since the adoption of IECC 2015 by the State of Texas and other jurisdictions, the commissioning process is required to be performed by an independent firm on the HVAC, lighting, domestic hot water, and renewable energy systems in commercial buildings. EAB is uniquely suited to help Owners achieve compliance with this code requirement.
Through our experience in the K-12 industry, we realize the need for quick timelines that do not interfere with the students, administrative, or teachers’ schedules, and activities. With unmatched thoroughness and continuous reliability, our team efficiently delivers an optimum operating facility within the specified time frame.
EAB is specifically trained, technically astute, and responsive to the requirements of higher education facilities. Our team proudly serves many prestigious colleges and universities.
While having expert knowledge of complex buildings and systems, our team provides Building Commissioning services throughout the campus.

Our team understands the specific needs of commercial tenant buildout spaces as well as the infrastructure needed to support mega high-rise buildings. Through years of experience testing ventilation systems, we have gleaned extensive knowledge in kitchen ventilation, retail space ventilation, and the unique needs of variable occupancy buildings.
With the advent of underfloor air distribution systems prevalent in these settings, EAB has pioneered unique ways to verify challenging systems and assist designers and contractors in the installation and operation of high-performance, energy-efficient systems for today’s commercial office buildings.
We also offer existing building commissioning services, providing property owners and facility managers with a valuable tool for enhancing the operation of existing systems. Whether specific problems exist with MEPLS systems or energy conservation is a goal, our team of technical experts can provide guidance and technical assistance to ensure comfort and achieve an optimum operating facility.
Whether a building has older HVAC and electrical systems or is a modern facility trying to reduce energy costs, our technically astute Commissioning Team can help evaluate energy conservation strategies and provide a value based approach to investigation, implementation and on-going operations to help building owners achieve their energy management goals. With personnel certified by the American Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) and the Energy Management Association (EMA), our team brings years of experience and practical hands-on knowledge to help achieve an optimum operating facility.
