In the United States, buildings account for 39% of all energy consumption and 14% of all potable water consumption. Ray Martin Company supports all measurable and verifiable methods of energy and water conservation that can impact these statistics. In fact, we have been involved in energy and water reduction projects long before it was fashionable to be Green. Our first LEED® AP certificate was received in 2007 and presently half of our project managers hold certificates. We have worked on projects seeking various LEED® registration levels and understand the commitment required of all team members to achieve LEED® guidelines.

 

We have worked with outside commissioning agents for LEED® projects and have acted as the commissioning authority when an independent authority was not required. In doing so, we have shown our capabilities to take a total systems approach to the turnover process rather the merely starting up system components. This approach allows the owner to be certain that the installed mechanical system operates per the design statement, a baseline has been established for future energy comparison, and that the system operates at peak energy efficiency.

 

Since HVAC systems consume a significant percentage of the total energy used in the United States, it is logical that a great deal of focus is directed towards reducing the amount of energy consumed by these systems. Our registered professional engineers have design, construction, and building automation system experience that allows us to provide owners not only with options but also their respective economic, maintenance, and comfort implications. We have experience with a wide range of energy sources including hydronic solar panels, ice storage, and geothermal. Ray Martin Company has installed several in-floor radiant heating systems that take advantage of the low horsepower delivery requirements of radiant heat.
