Outstanding Innovation in Technology Enabled Engineering Services

Prasino Engineering, LLC has been recognized with the 2026 Outstanding Innovation in Technology-Enabled Engineering Services Award by the American Recognition Awards. This honor highlights the company’s innovative approach to building commissioning and performance consulting and shines a spotlight on how technology can transform the way buildings are designed, tested, and maintained.

For more than a decade, Prasino Engineering has been changing the game in building commissioning. Led by George Karras, the team has built proprietary software, developed AI tools, and implemented real-time data capture methods that make sure buildings work the way they were intended. Their goal is simple: deliver buildings that perform efficiently, reliably, and safely for every client.

Putting Technology to Work Where It Matters

What sets Prasino apart is how they approach every project. They don’t treat commissioning as paperwork or a routine checklist. Instead, they run it like a careful inspection program, using their own technology and calibrated tools to perform independent, repeatable tests. That means clients get results they can trust, fewer surprises at handoff, and better-performing buildings overall.

Prasino’s services cover everything from new building commissioning and retro-commissioning to existing building support and warranty-phase consulting. They handle HVAC, plumbing, electrical, controls, emergency power, domestic hot water, and integrated systems. Their building envelope commissioning is focused on controlling air and water leaks, improving thermal performance, and making sure buildings are structurally sound and functional.

Experience That Builds Trust

The company’s track record speaks for itself. They’ve earned awards before, including the Best New Technology Deployment in Commissioning and ASHRAE’s Excellence in Engineering for their work on the Unity Temple, a historic Frank Lloyd Wright building in Oak Park, Illinois. But more than awards, the team is proud of the way their work impacts real people. Owners, developers, and contractors can count on Prasino Engineering to identify issues early, track them carefully, and deliver buildings that perform as promised.

They’ve also expanded into building envelope commissioning, infiltration diagnostics using thermal imaging, airflow measurement, and smoke visualization. They help clients with comfort, air quality, energy audits, and troubleshooting issues that could otherwise go unnoticed.

Looking Ahead

Prasino Engineering isn’t slowing down. With operations already in Michigan and North Carolina, the team plans to expand into new markets, using technology and their tried-and-true processes to maintain consistent, high-quality results. They’re committed to improving their software and AI capabilities so they can deliver faster, more reliable service while helping clients get the most out of every building.

This award is a recognition of more than technology. It’s a recognition of a team that takes pride in their work, focuses on the details that matter, and puts clients first. For Prasino Engineering, the next chapter is about continuing to lead, innovate, and redefine what it means to make a building truly work.
