“Each project has its own unique constraints and goals, but begins with the simple aspiration: ‘What is the best we can do?’ I’m driven to work with clients to define this vision, determine a path, and then exceed expectations.”

Brad Crowley entered the industry determined to improve building energy performance. Two decades later, this passion still motivates him to innovate ways of ratchetting up performance while engineering outstanding environments for learning and discoveryHe has designed systems for science and engineering buildings at premier institutions like Johns Hopkins University, Cornell University, and the University of Pennsylvania. In collaboration with designers, contractors, and owners, Brad seeks to integrate maintainable systems that are not seen, nor heard, by building occupants. He views systems as the beautiful “engine” of a building and makes it his responsibility to engineer environments that enhance comfort and provide the tools necessary for researchers to address the world’s present and future challenges.
