Enck has more than 25 years; experience in engineering, construction, and building operations. His interest in green design and sustainable development began during his college years, where he designed and constructed an industrial heat recovery system that saved two million cubic feet of gas per year. This early interest became his specialty -- providing guidance to owners and their design teams as they work to develop high performance buildings. His forte is providing lessons learned to reduce owner risk and team effort, as well as providing a Holistic Commissioning™ that starts in pre-design and carries through for life of the building.
