Angelo L. Martarano, PE

President

After years of working in mid-sized MEP firms, Angelo felt the need to start Martarano Engineering, Inc. to provide MEP services on a more customer-focused basis. Angelo founded the MEI engineering firm in 2010 to achieve this goal. Since inception, Angelo has managed a multitude of projects not only with his in-house employees but also partnering with other MEP firms to result in the most cost-effective design for his clients.

Education/Experience:

Angelo has 20 years of experience as an electrical engineer in the industrial, commercial, municipal and health care industries designing electrical services, emergency/backup generator, lighting and fire alarm systems.

Angelo is a 2004 graduate from Pennsylvania State University earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering Technology from the School of Science, Engineering and Technology, Harrisburg Campus.

Duties and Responsibilities:

As President of MEI, Angelo is responsible for project management from project conception through construction completion. He coordinates with clients and design engineers through the design process to keep projects within their design timetables and within the clients’ budget. As well as design engineering, he also performs various building studies and construction administration services.

Licensing and Affiliations:

Currently, Angelo is licensed in seven states, PA, NY, NJ, NC, VA, CT and DE, and is an active member of NFPA and ASHRAE.

Keynote Projects:

  • Solar Design – Various Locations – The projects involved the design of ground mount and roof mounted photovoltaic systems. The systems designed ranged from small 50kW systems to several mega-watt systems. The connection points vary from direct utility connection to connection in a new or existing panelboard. Code analysis is used to determine if an existing panelboard can accept the size system being proposed.

  • Abington Reproductive Medicine is a IVF reproductive facility that houses standard medical exam rooms with a laboratory in one half of their facility. The second half of the facility contains a surgical room, procedure room, laboratory between the surgical and procedure rooms and surgical preparation and recovery areas. MEI prepared the design for the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. Due to the specialty surgical room for their type of procedures, additional air sanitation units were added to the surgical side air distribution system. The surgical side laboratory, surgical room and procedure room require.

  • Luxor Lifestyle Apartments - The 190,000 S.F. building is five stories and contains 173 units mixed between two-bedroom, one bedroom and efficiency apartments on floors two through five and retail and leasing office on the first floor, approximately 12,000 S.F. of the aforementioned total. The common area of the building consists of bar/lounge area with a kitchen, open community room, fitness center and yoga studio. The first floor and sub-floor also contain a parking garage approximately 80,000 S.F. The building is planned to be built in two phases so this consideration needed to be made when designing the services to this building.

Keynote Projects:

  • Mount Vernon Hotel Renovation: A historic high-rise building of approximately 120,000 square feet. This project converted an existing 2-pipe heating and cooling changeover system into a 4-pipe heating and cooling system enabling simultaneous heating and cooling. A new heating water plant was provided using high efficiency condensing boilers.

  • The Villages at Rockville Multi-family Housing: A new 279,000 square foot senior living facility. HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection were provided for this project. Dwelling units were served by split system heat pumps. Common areas were heated and cooled by a Variable Refrigerant Flow(VRF) system and ventilation delivered via a Dedicated Outside Air System(DOAS). A heat recovery dehumidification unit was designed to servethe natatorium.

  • Northern Lebanon Elementary School: A new 123,000 square foot elementary school. A VAV rooftop system with hot water reheat was provided. An automated temperature control system was provided to control HVAC systems, and it was connected to the existing campus control system.

  • Lebanon Middle School: A new 160,000 square foot middle school. A VAV rooftop system with hot water reheat was provided. A commercial grade dust collection system was provided for the school’s wood shop. An automated temperature control system was provided to control HVAC systems.

  • Fort Belvoir Building 2117 Decentralization: This scope of this project was to decommission an existing campus wide chilled water and heating water plants that served (6) barracks buildings and (3) office buildings. The barracks were provided with split system heat pumps and the office buildings were provided with their own heating water and chilled water plants.

  • Green Labs Grow Facility: This was a conversion of an existing warehouse to a medical marijuana grow facility. Grow rooms required complex HVAC design in order to control humidity and the hot spots caused by high wattage light fixtures. Another challenge was to eliminate the propagation of odors to the surrounding neighborhood by using activated carbon filters in all exhaust systems.
