Welcome To MSD
Mechanical Systems Design, Inc. is a consulting engineering firm that provides mechanical engineering solutions and services that range from specialized utility and building systems to control technology and project management. While many firms act as consulting engineers, MSD brings to these tasks an unusually high level of engineering design and insight. From its inception in 1980, MSD resolved to deliver mechanical solutions that work the first time, every time. It’s an approach that commits the organization to develop a well-thought out, technically correct concept from the beginning. It’s an attitude that understands that the engineering serves more than an immediate project, but the larger strategic goals that guide the client’s business. And it produces intelligent and impressive results, every time.

Sustainable Design
What does it mean?
One of the best definitions of Sustainability or Sustainable Development comes from the 1987 Report of the Bruntland Commission, formally known as the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development.
You don't have to agree with all the findings of that UN Commission to realize that in all ways we should be aware that future generations should not be tasked with solving our problems.
