Religious buildings primarily provide a place of worship but often also include other facilities such as classrooms, multipurpose hall, commercial kitchen, gymnasium, and offices. Designing mechanical and electrical systems for each of these facilities involve many unique challenges that must be carefully addressed.
KES Engineering has successfully designed mechanical and electrical systems for religious facilities including renovations, additions, and completely new facilities with capacity from 500 to 3000 people sanctuary.
