About us

In 1980, ACR Engineering, Inc. adopted the principles of re-engineering and applied the discipline in innovative ways to make buildings and systems more energy efficient and less costly to operate. At the time, we didn’t know that our passion would evolve into a formal discipline that is now known as Building Commissioning, but our decades of experience have allowed us to approach this new discipline with a unique perspective that few other firms possess.

We’ve continually improved our methods and expanded our expertise in ‘standard’ engineering services, but efficient energy use is our passion and is still our ‘raison d’être’. It’s a highly valued intangible we bring to every project. Energy efficiency is at the heart of each and every ACR Engineering, Inc. project because energy efficiency is in the heart of every ACR employee.
