What Prasino Engineering, Llc does

Prasino Engineering, LLC is a privately held, independent building commissioning and specialty engineering firm founded in February 2013 by George Karras, P.E. and Georgia Karras, P.E., headquartered in Bolingbrook, Illinois. The firm verifies that mechanical, electrical, life-safety, and envelope systems in new and existing buildings perform as designed, and complements its commissioning core with building energy modeling, energy consulting and code-compliance support, forensic engineering, facility assessments, design and code review, electrical studies (short-circuit, coordination, arc flash), power system reliability design, training, and equipment and testing services using its own calibrated diagnostic instruments (an average of 18 per large project). It serves building owners, developers, architects, and contractors across six verticals: higher education, healthcare, mission critical, K-12, commercial, and transportation, and publicly references 100+ organizations served.

The firm's technology layer centers on SiteInspector.AI, a proprietary AI-powered inspection platform combining computer vision for construction site photo analysis with large language models and wearable vision systems for hands-free field documentation, real-time standards reference, and structured inspection narratives. Every AI-identified observation is reviewed and issued under licensed Professional Engineer supervision, and the platform is deployed on 100% of projects. A separate proprietary commissioning software platform structures testing, documentation, and closeout, reducing test-report generation time by 45%. SKM Power Tools is used for electrical modeling, and the firm owns its calibrated thermal imaging, airflow measurement, building pressure diagnostics, manometers, and anemometers rather than relying on contractor-supplied equipment.

Commercially, Prasino operates a professional services, project-based consulting model with custom engagement-based pricing, no publicly disclosed tiers, and a direct, consultative go-to-market led by the principals themselves. Revenue is generated through commissioning, energy modeling, energy consulting, forensic engineering, assessments, design review, electrical studies, training, and equipment testing engagements. Distribution is single-country/domestic with a stated international operating footprint, marketed through content (News & Insights blog), LinkedIn, and direct website contact with Calendly-enabled booking. The firm is 100% founder-owned, with no external funding rounds, subsidiaries, or parent company, and reports 1–10 employees alongside claimed nationwide U.S. delivery plus international reach.
