“I view Paladin as a HIGH IQ company… Their Team work is flawless and their ability to absorb, manipulate and support data in many formats relating to energy is extraordinary”

“Paladin is one of the few firms that truly understands what commissioning consists of. They look at all aspects of the building and how the users interface with the building. They ask the right questions and come up with workable solutions. Paladin has deployed a plan to implement commissioning on over 50 buildings and continues to produce great results.”

“Paladin goes beyond just construction drawing reviews; they view the drawings from an operator perspective. The result is a product which is not only constructible, but also operational.”

"....it has been my pleasure to work beside each of you [at Paladin].... KCTCS has many new buildings that are of sound construction and have energy efficient systems because of your efforts."
