WC Engineering

About

Company Overview

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.

Core Services

Living Roof Design
We design living roofs that integrate vegetation with energy-saving features like rooftop solar and biosolar systems, creating sustainable, resilient, and environmentally friendly spaces.

Mechanical Design
We optimize HVAC system designs for energy efficiency, comfort, health, and indoor environmental quality. Our expertise includes central, mini-split, split, direct expansion (DX), and packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) systems.

Plumbing Design
We deliver reliable plumbing designs with precise pipe diameter sizing calculations for water supply, drainage, sanitation, and stormwater management systems.

Brian White, Founder

With 15 years in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, I specialize in designing high-performance, energy-efficient mechanical and plumbing (M&P) systems and living roofs. As a licensed Professional Engineer (PE), a LEED Green Associate, and a Green Roof Professional, I’m dedicated to creating sustainable designs that enhance indoor air quality (IAQ), comfort, and environmental health while reducing noise, air, and water pollution.

I’m also passionate about advancements in robotics, autonomous vehicles, emission-reduction technologies, and the potential of universal basic income (UBI) to drive meaningful societal change.
