HVAC, BUILDING AUTOMATION & ENERGY SYSTEMS
Mechanical engineering for commercial, institutional, and government projects across Washington and Oregon. Code-compliant, buildable, and fully coordinated across disciplines from design through construction.
OVERVIEW
Columbia Engineering Group provides mechanical engineering services for commercial, industrial, healthcare, institutional, and government projects throughout Washington and Oregon. From HVAC system design and building automation to industrial ventilation, energy analysis, and facility retrofits, we create practical, buildable solutions that support efficient construction and long-term performance.
More than calculations and equipment schedules, we provide coordinated engineering support that helps projects move smoothly through design, permitting, and construction. Our team works closely with owners, architects, contractors, and public agencies to reduce coordination challenges, improve system performance, and deliver permit-ready mechanical solutions.
PROJECT TYPES
CEG supports a diverse range of facilities and project delivery methods with HVAC and mechanical systems designed for comfort, energy efficiency, constructability, and long-term performance.
WHAT WE DELIVER
Five areas where Columbia Engineering Group consistently delivers mechanical engineering expertise, from initial planning through construction closeout.
Ventilation systems designed for manufacturing, laboratories, process facilities, and specialized environments.
Mechanical system upgrades that improve performance, reliability, energy efficiency, and facility operations.
Energy-conscious mechanical systems designed to support sustainability goals, long-term savings, and optimized building performance.
ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
From system assessments and HVAC analysis to building automation and energy-efficient design, Columbia Engineering Group provides the technical expertise necessary to support reliable, code-compliant mechanical systems.
Helping clients create comfortable, efficient, and reliable indoor environments through thoughtful mechanical system design.
Supporting informed decisions through evaluation, modeling, performance analysis, and lifecycle planning.
Delivering advanced mechanical systems that support operational efficiency, monitoring, and specialized facility requirements.
OUR PROCESS
Site Assessment
We review project goals, occupancy requirements, schedules, budget considerations, and jurisdictional requirements.
Design & Coordination
Our team develops practical mechanical solutions coordinated with architecture and other engineering disciplines.
Permit Submission
We prepare permit-ready documentation and respond quickly to plan review comments and agency requests.
Construction Support
From RFIs and submittals to field coordination and project closeout, we remain involved throughout construction.
We help maintain schedules and budgets through efficient structural design and coordination.
Our engineers collaborate closely with design teams to coordinate ceiling spaces, shafts, equipment locations, and architectural objectives.
We provide documentation-focused engineering services built for public-sector review processes and long-term facility performance.
We deliver buildable plans, coordinated details, and responsive construction support that reduce RFIs, delays, and field conflicts.
FEATURED PROJECTS
Yakima Valley School Campus Generator Replacement
Selah, WA
Backup power infrastructure at Yakima Valley School nursing facility was fully upgraded, with CEG replacing three generators, installing eight transfer switches, and coordinating with L&I, DOH, and Clean Air agencies.
Eastern State Hospital FSU Chiller Replacement
Medical Lake, WA
CEG investigated premature chiller failures at Eastern State Hospital, discovering airflow restrictions caused by solid yard walls, and engineered a lasting solution to restore performance and prevent future equipment failures.
Washington State Penitentiary H Building Condenser Replacement
Wala, Wala, WA
A full design-build condenser replacement at Washington State Penitentiary, engineered entirely in-house by CEG across mechanical, electrical, and structural disciplines with zero subconsultants.
