Simplification of complex Mechanical & Electrical problems that realise potential increases in useable GFA, improved comfort and user experience, whilst delivering lower OPEX.
MEP - Audit-Design-Build-Operate
Turnkey Contracts
Guaranteed Energy & Water Saving Projects through Fixed-Price Lump-Sum Design-Build and Turnkey Contracts underwritten by Insurance Bond or Bank Guarantee.
Glass Bottle Water Bottling Plants - Zero Waste Water
Eliminate Plastic Water Bottles from your Operations
We design, build and sell Glass Bottle – Water Bottling Plants. The lowest hanging fruit for becoming Zero Waste is the elimination of plastic water bottles from your operations. Suitable for hotels, restaurants, factories, anywhere that you currently supply or sell plastic water bottles or large gallon bottles.

Energy Audits
Finding the negawatt
Energy Audits (ASHRAE Level I, II & III) with equipment calibrated to exceed International Measurement & Verification Standards (ASHRAE: 22 and AHRI 550/590).
Energy Services & Consulting
Finding and mining the negawatt
New Build Design If engaged before the appointment of the architect utilising Integrative Design, we can deliver CAPEX savings of between 5-12% whilst delivering OPEX savings of 50%+ over traditionally designed buildings.
Building Retrofit (40-70% savings) We dig deep for energy savings and go well beyond the typical 10-30% savings served up by ESCOs today.
Third Party Design Review
A fresh set of eyes
An independent design review differs from one engineering firm’s internal QA checking. A fresh, independent set of eyes can look beyond the design firm’s internal design practices. It may prevent the misapplication of a generation of projects or engineers to the next.
We also work with the chosen design team to nominate high-performance metrics for key energy-consuming plant and equipment, taking a whole-systems approach.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Healthy Buildings & Wellness
Resolution of CO2 and RH issues while delivering substantial increases in energy efficiency that deliver reduced OPEX.
Asset Acquisition engineering system Due Dilligence
Developing the business case
Identifying the hidden costs and opportunities that release value after completion of the transaction.
Who We Are
We are an outstanding team with diverse engineering, architecture, science and management backgrounds in energy and building design, building automation & controls, facilities management, energy efficiency financing, and cloud-based software design & deployment.
Nigel Grier
Chief Executive Officer
Nigel is an optimist and believes that we can make a difference; he understands that interdisciplinary teams using integrative design can help co-create our preferred common future. He knows we only need a few new technologies. We need to integrate and, importantly, deploy what we have. To do that, we need to work more collaboratively, engage broader stakeholders, get people talking to each other (early on), especially architects and engineers, step out of our comfort zone and use our collective intelligence, knowledge and wisdom to solve the wicked problems of our time.

Boutique Hotel Singapore
V-Chill system efficiency of 0.56 kW/RT
Boutique hotel with 204 rooms in vibrant Geylang Singapore.
Attained Singapore Green Mark Platinum in year 2014.
Client had concerns on the ability the Chiller Plant to meet Platinum requirement of 0.70 kW/RT for boutique hotel category with consultant design load of 100 RT.
With vChill Design and Build, the actual load was 50 ~ 85 RT with performance exceeding all expectations with operating average of 0.56 kW/RT. This is a classic example of being able to deliver less at higher efficiency in order to service the hotel efficiently.
- Before: Air Cooled Chiller operating @ 3kW/RT
- After: Water Cooled Chiller System operating at 0.56kW/RT
- Savings: 2.44 kW/RT or 81.3%
