McKinstry

McKinstry is a national construction and energy services company founded in 1960 that designs, constructs, operates and maintains high-performing buildings and energy assets across the full building lifecycle. Beginning as a small plumbing company started by co-founder George Allen, the firm now serves clients across the United States from offices nationwide and has been in operation for more than 60 years.

The company's work spans an integrated platform of services covering the whole life of a building: consulting, construction, energy services, and facility operations and maintenance. Technical domains include HVAC, building energy efficiency, construction engineering, energy services, facility operations, and sustainability and carbon reduction consulting. Its consulting practice addresses overlapping climate, affordability and equity challenges in the built environment, while its energy services focus on reducing waste and climate harm and improving building efficiency. McKinstry cites the fact that buildings account for nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions as the problem its work targets.

McKinstry describes itself as values-driven, with a stated vision of "Together, Building a Thriving Planet" and a mission focused on making the built environment healthier, more efficient and safer. The company emphasizes people-, client- and community-serving orientation and a culture of innovation, and states that it is compelled by its values to eliminate barriers standing in the way of a better built environment.
