Decarbonizing the built environment

work with us

We’re on a mission to design solutions for the low carbon transformation of existing buildings

SES leverages its expertise in mechanical engineering, smart building systems, and project management to reduce carbon emissions in existing buildings.

We provide a comprehensive range of services to cover the entire project lifecycle—from the initial study through design, project management, commissioning, and M&V.

Beyond engineering, we also provide expert advice to decision makers to inform policy development, as well as develop resources-including guides, case studies, and educational courses, to accelerate the transition to low carbon buildings.

If you’re interested in working with a company that cares as much about results as you do, please get in touch.
