Andrew Ostrowski, P.E., LEED AP

Vice President, Engineering

Marelich Mechanical

Value Delivered

Andrew helps provide the consistently reliable, high-performance systems clients need for maximum comfort, productivity and value. In addition to assisting with proposal and estimate development, Andrew provides a range of services, which differ depending on the type of project involved. On design/build projects, for example, he works with clients to carefully define system requirements and performance expectations, enabling the design of systems that effectively meet clients' demands. On design/assist projects, he collaborates with the owner's engineer to ensure agreement about the performance level required, as well as the scope of work and budget needed to achieve that level. And when Marelich isn't directly involved in the design process, he helps project managers understand relevant building codes, evaluate system designs and handle other engineering-related tasks. Regardless of the type of project, however, his goal is to ensure delivery of reliable, high-quality equipment and systems that will help clients successfully address their most challenging facilities and business issues.

Expertise
Andrew began working in the industry after college, when he took a position with a fuel cell manufacturer. Before joining Marelich, he held posts as a consultant with an engineering consulting firm and as head of engineering with a design/build contractor.

In addition to HVAC systems for manufacturing facilities, data and telecommunications centers, and office buildings, he has engineered clean room environmental and piping systems, central plant chilled water systems, and high and low temperature hot water and steam systems. And he has designed thermal energy storage and cogeneration systems.

Andrew holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Hartford and has taken MBA (Master of Business Administration) courses at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Andrew is also accredited as a LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) professional by the United States Green Building Council.
