Our data center partners at Tetra Tech provide some fantastic insights from DCD Cooling Innovation conference last month. Check them out!

Check out this great video of the AIA Austin award winning Isidore + Nicosi, located inside San Antonio’s Pullman Market.   Glumac’s Lighting Studio collaborated closely with the design team to create distinct atmospheres for each venue. In Isidore, small aperture adjustable downlights tuck into the ceiling to create a warm, inviting ambiance while concealed accent lighting in the casework and ceilings gently highlights natural wood finishes and the existing brick structure. In Nicosi, high‑contrast, dramatic lighting paired with dark finishes focuses attention on the food and presentation, delivering a bold, theatrical dining experience.   Congratulations again to the entire project team for thoughtful design and meticulous execution! https://lnkd.in/duBz4S7n

UC San Diego's Pepper Canyon West student housing facility has officially earned LEED Gold! It's been an honor to partner with Perkins&Will and Clark Construction Group. We provided LEED Energy modeling, UCOP Sustainability/EUI Modeling, Title 24 Energy Compliance, Thermal Comfort Modeling & MEP/LV Peer Review on this incredible next gen student housing project. Add that to a growing list of accolades: ➡️ Winner, Architectural Design—Educational ➡️ BLT Built Design Awards, 2025 ➡️ Best Residential/Hospitality Project, Southern California ➡️ Engineering News Record (ENR), 2025 ➡️ Honor Award, Environment Category ➡️ APWA San Diego, 2025 To learn more, take a look at this piece in San Diego Magazine featuring Pepper Canyon's amenity rich, occupant-first approach to student life on campus: https://lnkd.in/gt8hbxkX Rendering courtesy of Perkins + Will

AI compute is reshaping data center design — and liquid cooling is now core to that evolution. New high‑power servers (think NVIDIA Blackwell GB200 and NVL72) push rack and facility loads into hybrid air + liquid environments. Liquid options — direct‑to‑chip and immersion — unlock much higher heat‑rejection efficiency and better heat‑reuse potential, but they also demand evolved cooling architectures, controls, and integration strategies that support both liquid‑ and air‑cooled IT. Our team, along with the Tetra Tech High Performance Buildings Group, coauthored white paper, “Taking the Heat Out of AI: Sustainable Solutions for Liquid‑Cooled AI Data Centers,” a white paper that walks through practical design approaches, decarbonization opportunities, and how to plan for efficient heat reuse. Key themes: • Hybrid IT readiness: design for mixed air/liquid racks today. • Heat‑reuse as value: capture waste heat to advance sustainability goals. • System evolution, not revolution: liquid cooling integrates with existing water strategies but needs new system controls and redundancy thinking. • Renewables & low‑carbon tech: match increased demand with cleaner supply and efficiency gains. Check it out and let us know your thoughts!

For the last day of Engineers Week, meet Nicholas McElmurry: Building Enclosure Consultant by trade, curious maker and rider by passion. Nicholas channels curiosity into everything he does, from woodworking projects and raising backyard chickens to long rides on his motorcycle. Those hands‑on pursuits sharpen his eye for materials, detail, and systems behavior, the same instincts he brings to enclosure assessments, hygrothermal analysis, and practical solutions on complex buildings. Follow the week for more stories from the people who power our work. What hobby sparks your curiosity and improves your craft?

It’s Engineers Week — Feb 23–27 — and our daily spotlights roll on. Meet Ting Feng, PE: Mechanical Engineer by profession, explorer by passion — and Shadow’s favorite adventure partner. When she’s not solving HVAC puzzles or refining thermal strategies, Ting is out on trails with Shadow, scouting new routes and clearing her head. Getting outside helps her approach design problems from fresh angles and brings energy back to the studio. Follow the week for more stories from the people who bring heart to our work. Where do you find your best ideas — on a trail, in a studio, or somewhere unexpected? Share below. #EngineersWeek #MechanicalEngineering #PeopleFirst #Glumac #WorkLifeBalance

It’s Engineers Week — Feb 23–27 — and our daily spotlights continue. Meet Ricardo Gonzalez, PE, LEED: Electrical Engineer by trade, mariachi performer at heart. “Music has always been my creative outlet. There’s something special about performing mariachi with my family. It keeps me grounded and connected to my roots,” Ricardo says. “Performing also complements my engineering side — it sharpens teamwork and strengthens client-facing communication.” Follow along all week for more stories from the people who power our work.

It’s Engineers Week, and our daily spotlights continue. Meet Jamie Kress: Lighting Designer during the week, Splitboarder on the weekends. When Jamie isn’t dialing in luminaire layouts and mood studies, you’ll find her booting up on ridgelines across the Pacific Northwest! Follow along all week as we share more team stories. Got a hobby that powers your work? Drop it in the comments — we’d love to hear. #EngineersWeek #LightingDesign #Glumac #PeopleFirst #Resilience

It’s Engineers Week, and we’re kicking off a daily spotlight of the things that drive our great team. Meet Jessica Woody: Electrical Lead by profession, artist by passion. When she’s not leading power design or coordinating field teams, Jessica is in the studio exploring paint and drawing across different mediums—mixing color and texture to create some really cool stuff! Follow along all week for more stories from the people behind our projects. What creative hobby fuels you? Share below. #EngineersWeek #ElectricalDesign #ArtistAtWork #Glumac #PeopleFirst

Curious what it’s like to be a Building Commissioning Intern or Technician at Glumac? Join our virtual info session this Tuesday, Feb. 24, to see hands‑on construction/new-build commissioning in action and learn how technical work turns good design into high‑performing, sustainable buildings. What you’ll get from this session: • Clear explanation of commissioning roles and career paths • Real project examples showing system testing, troubleshooting, and O&M handover practices • Day‑to‑day skills you’ll use on site: test equipment, issue tracking, and vendor coordination • How commissioning advances sustainability and occupant readiness—and why it matters to owners Who should attend: Students and early‑career engineers curious about a technical career that blends fieldwork, systems thinking, and built‑environment impact.
