Case Studies
Improving Detroit’s School HVAC Systems
In its heyday, Detroit, MI, was the undisputed hub of the automotive world, with giants like Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler driving its economic engine. On a line graph, Detroit’s rise to and fall from prominence parallels the use of the V-8 engine in consumer sedans. As the country began to favor smaller displacement powerplants and lighter vehicles, manufacturing moved out of Motor City, taking much of its workforce with it. Real estate value imploded.
Commercial Flexibility Through Collaboration
Now well into 2025, employers big and small are adopting return-to-office policies, calling remote workers back into the fold. Meanwhile, public and private spending on medical facilities is increasing. Investments focus on modernizing hospitals, outpatient centers, and related infrastructure. And, real estate and construction costs are at an all-time high.

In the bottom lefthand corner of Colorado, about 50 miles from the Four Corners monument, is the blink-and-you’llmiss-it town of Dove Creek. The tight-knit community of about 700 residents depends heavily on the agricultural industry. Dove Creek, in fact, is known as the Pinto Bean Capitol of the World, thanks to the high-quality beans produced in the surrounding area.
