What gets measured gets improved. But only if you measure the right things.

We’re bringing our Making High Performance Measurable presentation to the South Dakota Physical Plant Director’s Conference on Thursday, June 4. EP’s Ben Bahr, Scott Vander Heiden, and Chris Konechne will explore how energy modeling and commissioning work together to help buildings perform better — not just on paper, but in real life.

Project Spotlight: The 530,000-sq-ft Graco Worldwide Distribution Center, designed by JLG Architects, supports global distribution through a highly automated, robotics-driven facility. MEP systems are designed to support continuous, high-volume operations with precision, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
