Enthalpy Engineering Incorporated

The Start
Enthalpy was founded after a pattern the partners saw too often on projects: performance was treated as a checkbox at the end, instead of a thread that runs from concept through operations. They had each spent years in larger organizations, leading work where they could see how much better buildings could be when engineers were close to owners, contractors and operators the whole way through.
