Leadership

Mueller’s engineers are at the forefront of our profession, championing and upholding our values with integrity and honor. We drive industry advancement by introducing innovative engineering solutions, providing thought leadership, and promoting best practices.

Leaders in Embracing Innovation and Emerging Technologies

Since our inception, Mueller has been at the forefront of embracing innovation and emerging technologies. In the 1970s, we pioneered the implementation of renewable energy systems, and we were among the first engineering firms in the region to achieve 100% proficiency in Revit-building information modeling technology. Our commitment to technological advancements persists as we continually explore innovative tools to enhance our work processes and better serve our clients.

Leaders in Sustainability

From its inception, Mueller has championed innovation and embraced emerging technologies. In the 1970s, the company pioneered the design of photovoltaics for the White House and supported the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in exploring alternative fuels. In the mid-1980s, Mueller expanded its technological innovations with dedicated research and development efforts in fuel cell development. Upholding this rich legacy, Mueller continues to engineer intricate building systems, harnessing breakthrough technologies like geothermal, photovoltaic, and chilled beams.

At Mueller, our sustainability philosophy asserts that NetZero, carbon neutrality, and decarbonization are not merely future aspirations but current imperatives. We firmly believe that the most sustainable building is the one already standing. Collaborating closely with our architecture and engineering partners, we craft MEP solutions that not only fulfill clean energy objectives but also pioneer novel approaches to advance decarbonization, even on our most demanding projects.

Leaders in Museum Design and Preservation

Mueller’s dedication to the preservation and safeguarding of art, natural artifacts, special collections, archives, and conservation spaces in museums traces back to our inception. We are proud to have collaborated with over 30 museums, successfully completing numerous projects for globally renowned cultural institutions.

As a founding sponsor of the International Association of Museum Facility Administrators (IAMFA), Mueller was honored with the Diplomat Award in October 2022. This recognition applauds our “efforts to provide outreach, innovation, and external expertise.” Nancy J. Bechtol, President of IAMFA, emphasized, “You and all at Mueller have contributed to the advancement and growth of our Association and exemplify this award through your vision and leadership.”

Elevating Expertise in MEP Engineering and Thought Leadership

Mueller’s leaders consistently showcase their thought leadership and expertise in the ever-evolving landscape of MEP engineering for intricately built environments. Covering a spectrum from sustainability and energy conservation to historic preservation and campus stewardship, our insights have been prominently published in renowned industry journals such as ArchitectureDC, Building Design + Construction, Engineered Systems, Plumbing Engineer, and PM Engineer. Moreover, our impactful projects have garnered attention in prestigious publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, Architect Magazine, NPR, and Dezeen, among others.

Shaping Tomorrow’s Engineering Leaders Through Industry Organizations

Mueller’s engineers play pivotal roles in influential industry organizations, including the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Our active engagement goes beyond conference thought leadership and extends to publishing articles in top-tier industry publications. By contributing our expertise, we earn recognition from owners and colleagues alike, setting Mueller apart as a leader. We prioritize knowledge-sharing, fostering a culture of internal exchange within our engineering staff and external collaboration with clients and the broader community.
