We put the gears in motion, and make sure they work.

A building is only as good as the sum of its parts. We approach buildings from a holistic perspective, ensuring all parts are working in concert to best meet and serve the needs of owners, operators, and occupants. From mechanical systems hidden from view to public spaces used everyday, we leave no stone unturned when tackling a project.

Our knowledge, expertise, and level of care allow us to operate in high gear. The multidisciplinary learnings and experiences within our core competencies of commissioning and efficiency work together and drive us to continuously improve our services.

We're in the business of decreasing building energy use that has both the benefit of making good economic sense for our clients, and combats climate change. We specialize in innovative services and best practices that deliver results in individual buildings or across efficiency programs.

I appreciate Cx Associates’ ability to provide us with that extra set of eyes during the design review process. Cx Associates’ ability to dedicate their time and expertise is like an insurance policy for us.
