Capabilities

One firm. The full energy stack.

Engineering, procurement, and construction under one roof. We specialize in energy performance contracts, distributed resources, district energy, combined heat and power, and microgrids.

Energy Savings Performance Contracting

Projects that pay for themselves. We engineer the upgrades, guarantee the savings, and the savings fund the work.

// SELF-FUNDING DELIVERY

Solar, Storage & Renewables

From rooftop arrays to airport-scale canopy PV, plus wind, geothermal, LFG-to-E, and battery storage.

// MW-SCALE GENERATION

HVAC & Central Plant Upgrades

High-efficiency chillers, boilers, AHUs, and variable-volume conversions — designed, installed, and tuned by our own engineers.

// COMFORT × EFFICIENCY

HVAC Services

Preventive maintenance, 24/7 emergency repair, and service agreements — keeping chillers, boilers, and air systems running at peak efficiency year‑round.

// SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Design-Build Construction

Chartered general contractor. Design-build, design-bid-build, construction management — single-point accountability.

// ONE CONTRACT. ONE TEAM.

Microgrids, CHP & District Energy

Resilient distributed generation — cogeneration plants, energy storage, and campus district systems that keep critical operations powered.

// RESILIENCY BY DESIGN

Continuous Commissioning® & Controls

MEP + controls engineering, BAS integration, and CC® that keeps systems performing at peak — year after year.

// NEVER DRIFT FROM PEAK
Interactive DER Simulation · Modeled by METCO

Local Community Center — DER Annual Simulation

A full year of operation — 8,760 hours of solar PV, building load, battery dispatch, and natural-gas generation — replayed in 3D, with the savings shown as they happen. Watch the battery hold the demand target, take the grid away, run a storm, and jump to any day of the year. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, click equipment labels for detail.

Utility Cost Reduction

From resilient power systems down to lighting.

Every METCO project stacks proven measures — modeled first in Revit, EnergyPlus, and CFD, then built and continuously commissioned. We lead with the complex, differentiating work that sets METCO apart, all the way down to HVAC and lighting.

M-01

Microgrids, CHP & Islanded Power

Behind-the-meter generation that keeps critical facilities running through grid outages — combined heat and power, on-site generation, protection, and controls integrated into one resilient system.
