Altura is a new breed of engineering consulting firm, delivering everything it takes to guide owners to realizing climate & carbon goals by maximizing building performance. Clients describe working with Altura as “transforming the way we deliver projects”, “taking the pain and confusion out of the smart building systems delivery process”, and “delivering an integrated commissioning and systems integrator process that actually delivers business value”.

During design, Altura takes ownership for defining the building controls strategy and establishing performance-based systems acceptance criteria. In the construction phase, we leverage our groundbreaking data analytics platform to transform MEP systems delivery, enable connected commissioning, and build automation software that delivers best-in-class occupant and operator experiences.
