Energy Infrastructure
Energy infrastructure is the unseen, foundational system beneath every building you operate: the central plant, the electrical backbone, the storage and renewables, the controls that tie it together. Mazzetti helps you plan, fund, design, and verify it as one connected strategy — so every dollar advances resilience, cost control, reliability, and decarbonization at once.
A Different Starting Point
Great engineering is the price of entry — our worthy competitors have it too. What sets Mazzetti apart is where we start the conversation and how we hold it together.
We start at strategy, not the drawing
The greatest influence over lifecycle cost and outcomes exists at the very beginning of planning — long before design. We engage there: with the CFO, the COO, and the capital committee, framing infrastructure as an investment decision with quantified risk, return, and a cost of inaction. Facilities teams stay essential partners, but the conversation happens at the level where the money and the mandate actually live.
We stay integrated where others hand off
Because advisory, technical design, and central-plant expertise live under one roof and one plan, nothing falls through the seams between disciplines. Commissioning closes the loop — translating design intent into how the building actually operates, and proving the metrics were met. You get accountability across the full lifecycle, not a relay race of specialists.
The mindset shift, side by side:
| TRADITIONAL MEP ENGAGEMENT: | MAZZETTI ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE: |
| Starts at design | Starts at strategy |
| Project-by-project | Portfolio & campus scale |
| A technical deliverable | An investment outcome |
| Single discipline, handed off | Integrated services, one team |
| Reactive to RFP’s | Upstream capital planning |
Capabilities that Connect
Eight capabilities, planned as one system. Engage any of them — or let us sequence all of them into a single roadmap.
- MEP engineering. Integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems designed as scalable infrastructure that supports electrification, decarbonization, resilience, and long-term performance.
- Decarbonization. Portfolio-level strategies that cut carbon by combining efficiency, electrification, renewables, and operations — without compromising reliability or affordability.
- Electrification. End-to-end planning and implementation of electric infrastructure for a reliable transition away from fossil fuels at building, campus, and portfolio scale.
- Financial roadmaps. Translating infrastructure and energy strategy into sequenced, fundable, approvable capital programs that accelerate execution at scale.
- Renewables & storage. Strategic integration of onsite generation and energy storage — including long-duration storage — to enhance decarbonization, resilience, and grid-interactive operations.
- Grid interactivity & commissioning (Cx). Ensuring buildings, plants, and microgrids perform reliably with both onsite systems and the utility grid, through integrated design, controls, and commissioning.
- SMART / digital infrastructure. Leveraging controls, data, and analytics to connect physical infrastructure with operational insight and enterprise decision-making.
- Program & enterprise management. The governance, coordination, and execution framework required to deliver complex, multi-year infrastructure programs across a portfolio.
Built on healthcare’s hardest problems
Our approach was forged where infrastructure failure is not an option. For 60+ years Mazzetti has engineered the energy-intensive, highly regulated, always-on environments of hospitals and health systems — the most demanding proving ground there is.
Health systems face it all at once: campuses with plants decades past their design life, public net-zero commitments, thin margins, and complex approval chains. We help them turn those pressures into a roadmap — sequencing decentralization, electrification, storage, and grid interactivity into fundable phases that the board can approve and the CFO can defend.
Case in point: Clackamas Community College
A facility condition assessment and energy master plan led to decentralizing an aging steam plant — pairing engineering and advisory to sequence capital, cut lifecycle cost, and chart a decarbonization path. The same playbook translates directly to health systems and other campus portfolios.
The principles travel. What we prove in healthcare applies to higher education, research, and any mission-critical campus where uptime, capital discipline, and carbon goals all matter at the same time.
The payoff of planning it as one system
- Resilience — systems and storage engineered to keep the mission running through disruption.
- Cost containment — a sequenced roadmap that controls lifecycle cost and quantifies the cost of inaction, not just first cost.
- Reliability — commissioning that verifies systems perform as designed, from plant to grid.
- Decarbonization — public commitments translated into fundable, buildable programs.
The earlier we engage, the more we can influence — the biggest levers on cost and carbon are pulled before design begins.
Let’s start with strategy
Whether you’re staring down an aging central plant, a net-zero deadline, or a capital plan that needs sequencing, the best time to talk is before the design begins. Let’s map your energy infrastructure as one investment and build the roadmap your organization can follow.
