The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 increased the federal energy reduction goal from 2% per year to 3% per year resulting in 30% greater efficiency by 2015, and encourages state and local governments to follow suit. Allen & Shariff Engineering is prepared to take on the growing energy reduction market by providing energy audits, building & system commissioning, retro-commissioning, building evaluations, energy modeling, and life cycle analysis.

Allen & Shariff Engineering has just been pre-qualified to provide Commissioning for LEED Certification & Acceptance of Equipment, Third Party Plans Review and Construction Inspections for the Office of Public Education Facilities Modernization (OPEFM). The Office of Public Education Facilities Modernization (OPEFM) was created by the historic DC Education Reform Act of 2007 to undertake large scale capital projects as well as the construction and modernization of DC Public School facilities. The estimated cost of the 15-year modernization campaign is approximately $3.5 billion. The office also will now manage all maintenance for the school system.
