Meline Engineering: geothermal consulting, construction support and technical training

Consulting

Meline Engineering specializes in sustainable, energy-efficient geothermal heat pump system designs for commercial, government, public and residential buildings. Since 1995, we have designed geothermal and sustainable energy systems for more than 75 public buildings and 150 residences. Our projects have included colleges, correctional facilities, museums, office buildings, and both large and small custom homes.

Construction Support

In addition to third-party plan and peer reviews, we offer consulting services to clients who already have a system installed that is not meeting their expectations. These services may be as simple as trouble-shooting or as extensive as a full on-site system evaluation. We review building loads, construction documents, and control sequences, making site visits as needed to observe the systems in operation. We then provide the client with a written explanation as to why their system is or is not performing as anticipated, making recommendations for improvements or changes.

Technical Training

Industry leaders have recognized past and continuing contributions by Meline Engineering to the geothermal heat pump industry. Participation on technical committees, strategic planning, and the development of codes and standards are all areas of current involvement. Ms. Meline is frequently asked to speak at industry conferences and to provide technical training courses.
