Sartell Community Center
Sartell, MN
Design Tree worked closely with the Architect and city staff to understand the different spaces and how they would be used. Energy efficient lighting and HVAC systems help manage utility costs.
Marco New Headquarters
St. Cloud, MN
To provide scalability, energy efficiency, and flexibility a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system was the basis of the HVAC design.
CentraCare Dialysis
St. Cloud, MN
Design Tree Engineering staff went through the entire building to record conditions and locations of existing systems.
