The company delivers integrated services spanning mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection engineering design; green building certification (ENERGY STAR, LEED for Homes and Multifamily Midrise, PHIUS+, Enterprise Green Communities, NGBS, Zero Energy Ready Home); energy modeling using tools such as HERS ratings, REM/Rate, eQuest, and WUFI Passive; ASHRAE-level energy audits; retrofit design and commissioning; measurement and verification; and on-site performance testing including blower door and duct leakage. MaGrann also operates a dedicated Research & Demonstration arm that conducts pilots and field demonstrations for manufacturers, utilities, and government agencies on topics including zero energy construction, heat pump deployment, and existing building electrification.

The business is structured as a B2B professional services firm with project-based fees derived from three primary revenue streams: engineering consulting for new construction and retrofits; green building certification consulting; and administered energy efficiency program services delivered under contracts with New Jersey utilities including PSE&G, New Jersey Natural Gas, South Jersey Gas, and Elizabethtown Gas. Customers include market-rate and affordable multifamily developers (Jonathan Rose Companies, AvalonBay Communities, RPM Development Group, RUPCO), housing authorities (Meriden Housing Authority), property managers (JCM Management, Access Property Management), architectural firms (Torti Gallas, Marvel Architects), and government agencies.
