I worked with AWE on a large residential project in Texas with many physical, climatological and aesthetic constraints. AWE provided excellent services. They were responsive, dedicated and collaborative, and took on the challenges we faced with enthusiasm. The result was a sophisticated mechanical system carefully and sensitively integrated into the architecture. George Hu is passionate about environmentally responsible heating and cooling technologies, and he brings this dedication and energy to bear on every project. His firm was an invaluable member of our design team and I look forward to having the chance to work with them again.

AWE provided MEP design services for our residential project, which featured a geothermal well system and an indoor pool. George’s experience helped guide us during every stage of design and, due to his responsiveness and thorough grasp of the tasks at hand, working with him was an effortless process. He has furthermore shown us his commitment to the long-term performance of his designs, remaining dialed-in to the project after occupancy. AWE was a very strong asset to our team, and I sincerely hope to work with them again on future projects.
I welcome the opportunity to provide a recommendation to anyone considering working with AWE.

George Hu and his team were able to translate complex engineering into workable solutions. As a developer I knew it would be a risk to be a pioneer with the first shared “utility” model of geothermal. 2 years later the system is performing to specifications and the homes are comfortable and the heating and cooling is reliable. We are very happy with the work George did to design these systems and I would not hesitate to recommend him for future developments and projects. During the most difficult times of the install, George was able to make suggestions and modifications to the plans to work-around unanticipated field condition issues. …. I think George accomplished it (resolving the challenging issues) in the most simple and elegant way possible.

George Hu made our aspirations his aspirations for green design of the renovation and expansion of the historic Carnegie library in Athol. His firm, AWE Engineers, was a member of the Tappé Associates library design team. In his role, George was reliable, cooperative and responsive, and brought expertise and enthusiasm to our effort to attain the highest certification possible for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. In addition, he successfully completed a feasibility study of stand-alone and innovative district-style geothermal utilities for heating, ventilation and air conditioning for the library and adjacent Town Hall. His mechanical systems design provided the library with flexibility to become even more energy efficient in the future. His work will help our town achieve its energy use reduction goals and demonstrate its commitment as a Green Community to a sustainable energy future.

(With the geothermal heating & cooling system designed by AWE), So I increased the living space of the house by 30 percent and added summer cooling but reduced my overall utility costs by 26% and my energy costs by 36%.
