The “Butterfly Effect” describes a relatively minor event– like a time traveler accidentally stepping on a butterfly in prehistoric times– having a major impact on future events. Ripple effects. Building systems are an eco-system unto themselves, complex, intertwined, and interdependent. Our experts understand how to orchestrate and choreograph changes to high rise environments.
Recent world events have put increased focus on health, safety, and the environment– especially as related to spaces in supertall structures. This just happens to be the same focus ESD was founded on over 50 years ago. For example, our industry leaders provide guidance on HVAC system design and operations best practices that help mitigate risk and improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in the context of post-pandemic high-rise commercial office building ventilation performance.
