Engineous Group Inc. (EGI) brings 35+ years of California MEP engineering experience to projects across the San Francisco Bay Area. EGI is headquartered in Pasadena, and its work in Northern California reflects that statewide practice: retail, senior care, and hospitality projects delivered in San Jose, Morgan Hill, Napa Valley, and Palo Alto. We are candid about scale. Our Bay Area portfolio is smaller than our Southern California body of work, and we do not maintain a local office in the region. What we bring is a design team with decades of California code experience, familiar with Title 24 energy compliance, seismic design considerations, and the permitting processes used by Bay Area jurisdictions, applied to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and solar systems.
Services
EGI provides MEP and solar design for developers, owners, architects, and general contractors working on Bay Area projects.
Mechanical (HVAC): Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning design sized for the building type and California’s Title 24 energy requirements, from retail and hospitality spaces to senior care facilities.
Electrical: Power distribution, lighting, and electrical systems design coordinated with architectural and structural documents, addressing the load and code demands of commercial and multifamily projects.
Plumbing: Domestic water, sanitary, and storm drainage design for buildings ranging from large retail centers to hotel and residential care facilities.
Fire Protection: Fire protection system design coordinated with local fire authorities and jurisdictional review processes across the Bay Area.
Solar/PV: Photovoltaic system design for projects looking to reduce operating costs and meet California’s energy efficiency standards.
Bay Area and Northern California Experience
EGI’s Northern California portfolio includes retail, senior living, and hospitality work, each requiring coordination with local permitting bodies and attention to Title 24 and seismic considerations specific to the Bay Area.
Westfield Valley Fair, San Jose: MEP design work on this major retail mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the region. See the Westfield Group portfolio page.
Morgan Hill Assisted Living Building, Morgan Hill: MEP design for a senior care facility in Morgan Hill, part of EGI’s broader work in assisted living design. See the assisted living facilities portfolio page.
Hampton Inn hotels, Napa Valley and Palo Alto: MEP design for Hampton Inn properties in both Napa Valley and Palo Alto, part of EGI’s ongoing hospitality sector work. See the hotel projects portfolio page.
These projects required coordination with city planning and building departments across San Jose, Morgan Hill, Napa, and Palo Alto, along with Title 24 compliance documentation and design decisions informed by California seismic requirements.
Sectors Served
EGI’s Bay Area work spans retail, senior living, and hospitality. Statewide, EGI’s sector experience also includes multifamily residential, healthcare, hospitality, education, and commercial office projects, giving Bay Area clients access to a design team that has worked across a wide range of building types throughout California.
Areas Served
EGI takes on MEP engineering projects throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area, including San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Morgan Hill, and Napa. We work with developers, architects, and contractors on projects throughout Northern California as part of our statewide practice.
“A well-qualified regional expert, collaborating with us on various-scale projects throughout California and the greater Southwest.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work in Northern California even though you’re based in Pasadena?
Yes. EGI is headquartered in Pasadena and does not have a local Bay Area office, but we have delivered MEP design work on projects in San Jose, Morgan Hill, Napa Valley, and Palo Alto. We take on Northern California projects as part of a statewide practice built over 35+ years, and we coordinate directly with Bay Area jurisdictions, architects, and contractors throughout the design process.
What MEP services does EGI provide for Bay Area projects?
EGI provides mechanical (HVAC), electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and solar/PV design services. Our scope typically includes Title 24 energy compliance documentation and coordination with local permitting requirements.
What types of Bay Area projects has EGI worked on?
EGI’s Bay Area portfolio includes a major retail project (Westfield Valley Fair in San Jose), a senior living facility (Morgan Hill Assisted Living Building), and hospitality projects (Hampton Inn hotels in Napa Valley and Palo Alto).
How does EGI handle California code and permitting requirements in the Bay Area?
EGI’s design teams work within California’s Title 24 energy code and account for seismic design considerations on every project. For Bay Area work, that means coordinating engineering documentation with the specific plan check and permitting processes used by cities such as San Jose, Morgan Hill, Napa, and Palo Alto.
