Ecotope
Mechanical engineering, building-performance research, and electrification design with particular depth in heat-pump water heating.
What they're known for
A Seattle engineering practice that moves new mechanical technologies from research and field demonstration into repeatable design tools, standards, and real buildings.
Ecotope has worked at the intersection of mechanical engineering, energy research, and building policy since 1976. Its design practice covers MEP systems, energy modeling, electrification, commissioning, performance monitoring, and existing-building decarbonization, with unusual depth in central heat-pump water heating. Ecotope also develops public tools and technical guidance such as Ecosizer, using monitored projects and field research to turn emerging systems into more standardized design practice.
