Premier Projects
University of Maryland Medical Center Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit
This project was a 37,000 square foot 52 Bed cutting edge technology NICU. The patients were in individual rooms with circadian control of the ambient lighting, individual room sound monitors, and HEPA filtration of recirculated room air to reduce the amount of outside air required for the rooms.

Their Success To Us
Our MEP Consultants provide project management strategy for renovating degraded facilities including extensive planning and MEP engineering services.
With 40 years of experience, our team of architects and engineers ensure cost-effective and reliable solutions for commercial, residential, educational, and healthcare institutes.
EFFECTIVE AND OPTIMAL SYSTEMS
Kovacs, Whitney & Associates consultants provide full coverage installation with the lowest possible size of piping conduit and ducts thus offering improved energy and compact systems.
SUSTAINABLE
DESIGNS
Our engineers incorporate renewable energy sources and eco-friendly equipment to make building more sustainable and of long-term value.
IMPROVED BUILDING MECHANISM
Kovacs, Whitney & Associates uses building automation systems to centrally control building operations such as HVAC, lighting and other electrical, mechanical and plumbing mechanisms.
BETTER INDOOR
ENVIRONMENT
Maximizing daylight exposure and enhanced HVAC systems wick away moisture, improve ventilation and, remove stagnant odors and airborne diseases for a better indoor environment.
Healthcare
Our healthcare project experiences range from chilled water plant installations and HVAC renovations to MRI installations and preparation of building power systems. Special systems generally include paging, fire alarm, nurse call, and communication networks. To meet healthcare’s continuous operation demand, most projects are phased so that plants and adjacent facilities can remain in operation during construction.
Institutional
Offices, classrooms, and laboratories present different design challenges in institutional facilities. KWA works hand in hand with clients to meet the varying demands of each project. Our Experience includes colleges and universities, biological and engineering research laboratories, athletic facilities, animal vivaria and specialized microscope facilities.
Data Centers
Sending, receiving and storing digital information requires careful design considerations to insure the safety of data processing equipment. Our experience includes central office conditioning and power distribution, UPS and emergency power distribution for digital processing, specialized office buildings, and Service Operations Centers.
Standby Power Generation
It’s always better to be prepared. Standby Power Generation keeps our clients operating during different emergency situations. Whether it’s a telephone building or hospital, our designs provide a reliable safety net so clients can continue to focus on providing their services.
LEED
Some of the most important parts of KWA’s design process are the engineering considerations aimed towards improving building systems performance and efficiency. These consideration include reducing energy usage by upgrading key mechanical system equipment, and installing state of the art control systems designed to minimize energy usage for multiple applications.
Why Choose Us?
KWA is the perfect MEP project partner and plays an important role in continued collaboration between project team members. Our process focuses on systems that connect with the building design and work the way they are supposed to in order to give the building owner the best return on their investment.
Our staff has LEED Accredited Professional status and we put sustainability into all of our designs. We provide both design and documentation services for LEED certification, and have done so for many years.
Using the latest construction technology, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D modeling, the team can share information and edit designs quickly. This helps ensure that everyone is on the same page during the design process, and can also help with construction conflicts and surprises. This saves the owner of the building time and money and helps the building be constructed quickly.
