Underlying all the endeavors of Padia Green Center is our intent
to be ecologically responsible: to actively create and promote
building systems and education about them which reduce
humanity's footprint on the Earth to a sustainable level.
Padia Consulting, Inc. specializes in sustainable
building systems and engineering solutions. These provide many
benefits, including reduced energy and lifecycle costs, less strain on the
environment and natural resources, conversion to alternative energy
sources, enhanced work environment, and increased productivity for the
people who use these buildings.
Padia
Consulting is a nationally-recognized engineering consulting firm with
offices in Cary and Charlotte, North Carolina, and in Las Vegas, Nevada. In
addition to mechanical and electrical engineering, we specialize in
sustainable systems design. With over 35 employees nationwide, our company
has grown quickly, recognizing the need for engineering design that is both
fiscally and environmentally responsible.
Padia Consulting was opened in 1998 by Harshad Padia, P.E., LEED, a
mechanical engineer with over 30 years experience. Mr. Padia was one of the
first engineers in the United States to bring sustainable systems to
conventional building, taking sustainable design beyond its “earthy” image
and into contemporary facilities such as new k-12 schools and office
buildings. Padia Consulting maintains a commitment to energy-efficient
design on-time and on-budget.
We believe that green design and sustainable building systems are
critical to maintaining our planet, saving our finite resources, and
providing excellent working and living spaces. We want this site to be
a useful and informative resource, in addition to a place to register for our
programs. We welcome your feedback and ideas, and invite you to browse
our list of upcoming seminars on sustainable design! Come back often to
