We have had a great working relationship for the last 15 years. Since Peters has a lot of field experience and they also go in the field, we can talk on the same level. It’s been great.

Daniel E. Dameron

AIA Principal - MFDB Architects, Inc.

Peters is very responsive – from the provision of marketing materials for RFP’s, to fee proposals to the execution of the work. They are team players and prioritize a satisfied client as well as a satisfied architect. No nickel and diming, they do what it takes to get the job done. They meet deadlines. Their engineering is competent and dependable, resulting in no call-backs. Peters is also happy to take on both large and small projects – more evidence of prioritizing a satisfied client.

We really appreciate the ONE STOP SHOP for MEP. We work with them on a lot of renovations. They have the personality for this type of work; constant changes. They are easy to work with, they are flexible, responsive and understanding. We have been working with Peters for 20+ years.

I especially like working with them because they are willing to talk through ideas of systems and designs. They are honest and hard working. We enjoy working with Peters and have done so for 20 years.

DESIGN OF A SUSTAINABLE AND HIGH EFFICIENCY 177,000 SF BUILDING

Sacramento, CA

Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Customer Service Center is a 177,000SF building utilizing state-of-the-art energy conservation techniques. Energy conservation techniques included 30 degree delta T chilled water system, raised floor supply air system for the office areas, direct/indirect evaporative cooling and slab radiant heating.

Since the opening of the building, employee absenteeism was reduced by 25 %. The central plant was retro-commissioned. The project has been certified LEED Platinum.

The lighting system utilized direct/indirect luminaires with integral daylighting controls which sample available ambient light and initiate the dimming of the luminaires in daylit areas. The energy efficient design was recognized by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America and given the EPRI Energy Award for excellence in establishing energy goals, research of control schemes and successful application of energy saving schemes.

The Light Power Density (LPD) that was designed and installed in the mid 1990’s still exceeds the expectations of what is required in Title 24 compliance today.
