Case Studies

These high-performance designs require incorporating new philosophies, a higher level of detail, and collaboration between disciplines.... CMTA has helped DCPS achieve unprecedented results while maintaining schedules and budgets and ensuring ease of operations and maintenance.

As the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing engineer, CMTA was an integral part of this project...They consistently offered creative design solutions to achieve a building that uses less energy, requires less maintenance, provides healthier air, and increases occupant productivity.

Banneker’s innovative new school building places learning and community at the heart of its design. Most importantly, it expands our enrollment capacity and will allow us to provide more students with the Banneker experience.

This building [marks] a significant step in the fulfillment...of our commitment to provide our city's children with safe, modern learning environments...It is an example of our determination to press forward until every student has the tools and opportunity they need and deserve to be successful.

This building is designed to provide ‘real world’ operating data to CMTA engineers. This will enable our engineers to demonstrate the effectiveness of our system design decisions to clients.

This project provided substantial operational cost avoidance, allowing limited and precious operating dollars to be shifted to other areas.

Achieving Zero Energy on Discovery has led APS to set new energy performance goals on all future projects. Where feasible, Zero Energy will be a goal of every project.

I would highly recommend the CMTA team to any entity looking to be blown away, and that desires proven results.

Through our competitive bidding process, the City was able to select the lowest base bid, which included high performance design, with the added option to achieve Zero Energy within the project budget.
