We believe buildings should be designed with people in mind. When projects are created with the environment in mind, all lives are better. When plans become future-proof, tomorrow is a better place. At ESD, we believe that expertise and empathy can improve the built environment, and we work to do so for our clients. This is built on three pillars:
Recognize your goals. Understand your budget. Figure out the best path forward that redefines what is real.
We have a plan. We have a goal. What’s the smartest and most efficient way to get there? We’ll design it.
Our team of engineers and experts works with you to realize the dreams we’ve defined together
We create design solutions that not only meet our client/partner’s needs and expectations but provide a safe environment to communicate, inspire, create, innovate, and evolve. To do this we champion inclusion and collaboration both in-house and with our clients.
We are committed to the environment and approach all of our work with sustainability as a fundamental construct. We strive to develop fit-for-purpose approaches that responsibly consume the earth’s resources both initially and over time.
Above all, the value we place on the health and safety of our employees and our clients through our design is paramount in our philosophic approach.
How do we do this? By combining experience with vision.
Seeing what’s around the corner requires the confidence to be curious. We can’t wait to discover how to solve your problems.
A simple philosophy that underpins everything we do.
As noted in Our History, ESD was founded on a revolutionary approach to solving a problem for our first client that has become an industry standard today. That spirit of creative problem solving continues to this day.
Our leadership team looks to set the tone for a company that works for each other and works for you.
In 1967, Hem Gupta founded Environmental Systems Design, Inc. The word environment was deliberately incorporated in the name of his young and energetic company because the built environment touches everyone and impacts all places. Our environment is and surrounds where we live, play, heal, and work.
We work hard. We are active in improving our communities. We engage in the needs of our clients. We care about the future of our planet. We believe in work-life balance. We enjoy solving problems.
Creativity, insight, partnership. Better spaces to work, to live, and to plan for the future. See how our various Services come together in these projects.
The various facets of our Engineering Services are reflected in the thought leadership, instructional videos, podcasts, and other information offerings we post regularly. Check out the latest.
