CoolSys Energy Design

When the checkered flag waved this afternoon, eight CoolSys Energy Design pit crews sprinted to build remote control race cars. Fueled up, we were off the races and had good times drifting through each lap.

Though we focus our efforts on solving mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and refrigeration complexities, the engineers at CoolSys Energy Design are not too shabby at Oktoberfest games. We've got some strong co****le and badminton players!

CoolSys Energy Design developed the electrical infrastructure and distribution design on an over 350,000 square foot solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage system owned and operated by Convergent Energy + Power for Choptank Electric Cooperative, a Maryland utility. Because the cost of big batteries has dropped significantly in the past decade and the latest technologies now allow them to store larger amounts of energy than ever, grid-scale energy storage systems are now seeing record growth. We are proud and thankful to be on the ground floor of this major transition.

Earlier this spring, CoolSys Energy Design welcomed Shane Best, PE onto the team as the new Director of its Texas business unit. In this role, Shane will lead the Texas Office and help shape its next chapter.

CoolSys Energy Design is a full-service mechanical, electrical, plumbing, refrigeration, and fire protection engineering firm that offers innovative and practical solutions for a variety of the largest nationwide supermarkets, mixed retail facilities, multi-family residential buildings, and industrial facilities. Pioneers in innovative and sustainable technologies, CoolSys Energy Design proudly delivers cost-effective and sustainable solutions for the challenges facing today’s built environment.

A fitting addition to the team, Shane Best is a Licensed Professional Engineer with over 25 years of industry experience. He earned his Electrical Engineering degree from Texas A&M University, Master’s in business from Southern Methodist University, and Commissioning Authority certification from the Association of Energy Engineers. After more than a decade as a design engineer, Shane leveraged his relationship-building and motivation skills to manage and lead various engineering teams to success. Immediately prior to joining CoolSys Energy Design, he spent six years as the Vice President of Building Tech Team, a construction consulting firm based in San Antonio.

With years of business experience and a fresh perspective, Shane is fired up about the opportunities that lie ahead at CoolSys Energy Design. “It’s a huge privilege for me to work with a team of such smart, friendly, and hard-working engineers and I am eager to expand in Texas and throughout the nation,” he said.

Only a month in, Shane has already identified areas that could benefit from process improvement. Likewise, he recognized the need for and immediately implemented systematic peer reviews for quality control and the injection of innovation into designs. “Some minimal changes will have a major impact and I’m excited to see how far we can go,” he said.

With Shane’s unwavering belief in providing the highest quality services through customer-oriented partnerships, CoolSys Energy Design is confident and excited to begin what is sure to be the Texas Office’s most exciting chapter yet.

CoolSys Energy Design announces that both Allan and Clive Samuels are transitioning to consulting and advisory roles after over 40 years of business and industry leadership. At the same time, the engineering firm celebrates that Ben Rosenzweig, PE is being promoted to take on the firm’s leadership role.

Brothers originally from South Africa, Allan and Clive formed their mechanical, electrical, plumbing, refrigeration, and fire protection consulting engineering firm in the early 1980s. Leading and innovating the industry, their company continues to be the “go-to” firm for the engineering of sustainable and optimized HVAC, refrigeration, and building automation systems for supermarkets, as well as commercial, industrial, and multifamily facilities. Their decades of dedication and leadership helped build CoolSys Energy Design into a 100-person team with thriving offices in New Jersey, California, Texas, and Florida.

As Allan and Clive pass the torch to Ben, the firm’s goal remains the same: To provide the highest quality mechanical, electrical, plumbing, refrigeration, and fire protection engineering services to help make new construction, remodels, and capital improvement projects as sustainable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective as possible.

“Ben has grown into a strong leader who is both business savvy and sensitive to today’s staff needs. We feel confident entrusting him with the company and taking a step back,” said Allan.

As a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple states, Ben has an eye for process improvement and leveraging the latest technologies to drive innovation with all the firm’s clients.

“We are developing in-house software tools for design, optimization, and integration, utilizing AI and machine learning, to help us become the most innovative MEPR consulting firm there is,” he said with infectious enthusiasm. “I am focused on leading the charge in carbon reduction across the footprint of our client’s facilities as we push the limits of the systems and equipment we specify.”

With Ben at the helm of the ship and Allan and Clive still providing their expertise as beacons for the company’s continued success, CoolSys Energy Design is better positioned than ever to offer elegant solutions for complex problems and innovative designs for a sustainable future.
