Controlled Environment Buildings / Cold Storage

Klein & Hoffman (K&H) specializes in Enclosure Consulting for Controlled Environment Facilities. Our professional services merge proven, industry-leading scientific research with practical and buildable enclosure solutions to the cold storage industry as well as other types of facilities with controlled environment program requirements. K&H combines Glenn Johnson’s 30+ years of experience, leveraging his science-based enclosure expertise, with the tenured Cold Storage Design and Construction experience of Scott Lumsden, Scott Stolarz and Nick Casaletto. The four lead our Controlled Environment Facilities group, supporting Owners, Architects, and Contractors by a proactive consulting process that has a proven return on investment.

Our clients have repeatedly seen the benefit of well-considered, constructable detailing when our team is engaged to perform peer reviews, facilitate collaboration during detail development, participate in pre-construction enclosure meetings, and provide on-site Quality Assurance / Quality Control working sessions inclusive of field observations and detailed reports. K&H utilizes proof-of-concept, computer-based thermal simulations to support the science behind the enclosure performance that is embedded into our realistic interface detail recommendations tailored to each project’s specific requirements. Cold storage and other controlled environment facility wall assemblies are well known; however, the intersections of these wall systems to the adjoining materials, mechanical penetrations, and overall continuity of the thermal, air, water, and vapor control layers are where K&H’s expertise provides added value to any project team assembled.

With several hundred complicated projects in our team’s portfolio, many of which include controlled environment spaces of various operational criteria, K&H is well positioned to support your team. Our clients describe us as being creative, collaborative, practical, and consistently delivering exceptional results.
