About

Founded in 2022 in San Diego, WC Engineering is a licensed MEP and architectural engineering firm dedicated to sustainable and innovative building solutions. We specialize in designing mechanical, plumbing, and living roof systems seamlessly integrating functional and aesthetic elements. Our designs enhance comfort, reduce energy consumption, and create visually striking spaces.

With a strong focus on green building practices, including LEED certification, we drive energy efficiency and water conservation. With less than 1% of U.S. roofs being green, we strive to transform urban spaces by designing and installing living roofs that blend sustainability with beauty.

We deliver comprehensive plans, specifications, cost estimates, and schedules for public and private sector projects nationwide, covering residential, commercial, and institutional developments—both new construction and renovations. By leveraging advanced design tools and adopting Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), we deliver high-performance solutions tailored to our clients’ unique needs while promoting environmental responsibility.

Residential Projects

Our team specializes in designing custom mechanical and plumbing systems for high-end residential homes, adapting to diverse climate zones and client needs. We focus on delivering optimized HVAC systems for comfort, air quality, and energy savings, while providing reliable and sustainable plumbing solutions for both single-family and multi-family homes.

Commercial Projects

We design high-performance HVAC and plumbing systems tailored to the unique needs of commercial buildings. Our approach includes precise load calculations, equipment selection, and system integration to ensure each project is equipped with properly sized and resilient mechanical and plumbing systems that deliver long-term performance and sustainability.

Sustainability Projects

Our holistic approach integrates living roofs, HVAC equipment, and plumbing systems to maximize energy and water efficiency in your building. By harnessing renewable energy sources and leveraging innovative technologies, we create sustainable solutions that meet energy compliance and support LEED certification.
