He has dedicated himself to bringing the best engineering practices to his designs and in support of the projects and company objectives. At this point in his career, he is dedicating himself to helping as many people as possible thru his solar pv projects and lighting designs.
Our Founder, William Batina has over 40 years of engineering and management experiences having been involved in hundreds of projects of all types and sizes.
He was the University Energy Manager at Pace University for 15 years where he was part of the Facilities Management Team, which managed about 90 buildings with over 2.8 million square feet of spaces. We completed over 300 renovation projects including the renovation of the main campus in Pleasantville NY USA. Batina was part of the interdisciplinary team which developed the specifications for the new resident halls of about 250,000 square feet each. The redevelopment project costs were about $ 110 million for the Pleasantville campus. An additional master plan development was also about $ 100 million for the main campus in New York City.
While Batina was the University Energy Manager at Pace University, he was responsible for the utility budgets. The annual budget for 4 campuses was about $ 10 million. He had to develop the budgets and then track the expenses and compare the utility bills to the budgets.

The career of an Electrical engineer is very rewarding both on a technological viewpoint but also in a more intellectual way. My path has taken me through several subdisciplines such as electronics, IT, statistics, quantum mechanics, etc. However, I am very grateful to have found Electrical engineering design to be highly stimulating and interesting.
My work has allowed me to gain considerable skills in the AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Revit, NavisWorks, SolidWorks and SketchUP softwares for the last 13 years. I draft building plans for architectural projects in the commercial, residential and retail sectors as well as developing electrical design for both power systems and lighting plans. Many projects have been designed from scratch, starting with site surveys, plan drafting, submittal process to the Department of Building, assisting the general contractors and site visits for inspections.
AutoCAD Electrical software has been used for control diagrams and schematics on industrial projects.
I want to deliver excellent quality work to my clients and my commitment is 100% to each project I develop.
