our story

Engineers first, since 2007

Energo is an engineering practice for MEP design, performance testing and green-building certification. We work from offices in Serbia, Switzerland and Italy, for clients across Europe.
how it started

From MEP design to the certificate

Energo began work in 2007 as an MEP design practice. In 2008 Marija Golubović became one of the first LEED Accredited Professionals in Europe, and certification became the second half of the practice. The two have grown together since.

The first large LEED project was Vodafone Village in Milan, certified Gold. In Belgrade, Ušće Shopping Center became the first LEED for Existing Buildings certification in the region. Since then the work has covered offices, retail, hospitality, industry, data centres, harbours and heritage buildings, from 100 to 150,000 square metres.

Today the practice designs building services, models and simulates performance, tests what has been built, and guides projects through LEED, WELL, BREEAM, DGNB, Parksmart and WiredScore. We work in Serbian, Italian, English, French, German, Croatian and Russian, to European, American and Russian standards.

how we work

What guides the work

01

Engineering first

Certification follows from the engineering. The systems are designed to perform, and the rating records what they do.
02

Targets in the brief

Credit targets are agreed at the start, while they can still shape the design rather than be added to it.
03

Tested, not assumed

Models run before tender and tests are scheduled into the programme, so performance is measured on the finished building.
04

Cost and benefit together

Every measure is weighed against what it costs to build and what it saves to run, before it is specified.
