Engineering Services of Vermont

What Engineering Services of Vermont does

Engineering Services of Vermont, LLC is a privately held mechanical-electrical consulting engineering firm headquartered in Rutland, Vermont, with a second office in Waterbury. Established in 2010 under principals Daniel W. Dupras, P.E. (Mechanical Engineer) and Claus P. Bartenstein, P.E., LEED-AP (Electrical Engineer), the firm provides engineering and design services for building systems — including HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, lighting, power distribution, communications, and life safety alarm systems — across the full project lifecycle from concept through construction. Core offerings span consultation, field investigation, studies and reports, engineering and design, permit applications (including ACT 250 and energy conservation), bidding and construction services, LEED certification support, and commissioning. The firm is also recognized for specialized expertise in high-performance and renewable-energy building systems, notably geothermal heating/cooling, wood pellet boiler design, passive house construction (PHIUS), and electrical safety studies (arc flash and short circuit analysis).

The firm's customer base is concentrated in Vermont and adjacent Northeast states, serving primary segments of government/municipal (library, fire station, public safety facilities), educational institutions (K-12 schools and universities including Middlebury College and Castleton University), recreation and hospitality (Killington K1 Lodge, Jay Peak Recreation Center, Weston Playhouse, Loon Mountain), commercial real estate (e.g., OnLogic's ~115,000 sq ft South Burlington headquarters), and residential development (The One at Spruce Peak). Notable third-party validations include the 2016 Efficiency Vermont Commercial New Construction Partner of the Year award and three 2017 PHIUS Passive Projects Design Awards for the Elm Place project. The firm operates as an independent LLC with no disclosed parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional funding; ownership rests with its principal engineers.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model, billed per engagement without publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market relies on referral and project-team relationships with regional architects, developers, and contractors (e.g., Bread Loaf Construction, DEW Construction), supported by a website portfolio and direct outreach to municipalities and institutional clients. The firm maintains Professional Engineer registrations in at least eight states (Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington, California, Nevada, and Arizona), enabling cross-jurisdiction project delivery despite a small staff of approximately 5–6 team members across both offices. Operating status is active with website updates through 2023.
