Lynk Engineers Featured in Utah Construction & Design
The recent merger of three of Salt Lake City's most respected engineering firms to form Lynk Engineers, has resulted in a combined mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology (MEPT) firm boasting over a century of collective experience and nearly 250 employees. We're pleased to share that our story was recently featured in Utah Construction and Design, exploring the history behind our merger, our new leadership team, and what it means for the future of MEPT engineering in the region.
Best in Class: A Utah School's Award-Winning Lighting
Sandy, Utah's first school was a one-room schoolhouse built in 1881, heated by a single wood stove and shared by forty students of all ages. Nearly a century and a half later, Union Middle School stands on much the same ground: a state-of-the-art campus where intelligent lighting design shapes everything from the parking lot to a Broadway-worthy auditorium. Philip Borup, Lighting Certified Professional at Lynk Engineers, led a lighting strategy built around a simple idea: every light in the building has a purpose, from RGB color washes that transform the auditorium during performances to color-tuned classroom lighting that follows students' circadian rhythms throughout the day.
What a Decade in Mechanical Engineering Teaches You
In honor of International Women in Engineering Day, Lynk mechanical engineer Mykel Vallerga, P.E., shares what drew her into the profession, the confidence it takes to be the only woman in the room, and the mentors who helped her find her specialty. Her perspective offers a candid look at building a career in engineering, and a reason to consider one.
Heating Buildings Smarter: What Decarbonization Really Means
Decarbonization often comes up in conversations about buildings and energy, but what does it actually look like in practice? Lynk Engineers covers the basics: what decarbonization means for buildings, how it affects the electrical grid, and how a University of Utah project shows what thoughtful mechanical design can achieve.
Heat pumps work great on paper. Real buildings are more complicated.
Lynk Engineers' Jarrett Capstick, PE, LEED AP, joins the Spring Building Performance Forum on May 6 as a featured panelist on heat pump electrification in commercial buildings. The session covers real-world performance gaps, system sizing, cold-climate challenges, and commissioning best practices. Hosted by AIA COTE and BEC-UT at the University of Utah.
