Monterey Energy Group Information

Monterey Energy Group was incepted in 1982, the year that the California Energy Commission released the T-24 Energy Code. Local builders and architects started showing up at David Knight's seminars at Monterey Peninsula College and decided to launch MEG to consult the stakeholders of the residential construction market on how to comply their projects with the new T-24 code. In 1995 Abe Stallcup graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a mechanical engineering degree and joined David at MEG. Abe became a licensed MEP and the President of MEG in 2000 and has become a leading expert in radiant heating + Plumbing & HVAC design with a focus on high-end residential homes. Since then, MEG's staff has grown to over 15 and is now licensed in five western states offering a complimentary, full-suite of consulting services in energy code compliance + MEP design. MEG has become the go-to consulting engineers for architects, builders, and homeowners who need technically creative HVAC design work in order to maintain T24 compliance and a comfortable living environment for the most difficult to comply, bold architectural projects. Different climate zones, south-facing glass, high glass to floor area ratios, increasingly strict energy codes, etc. are all obstacles to designing a home that is symbiotic with the homeowner's & architect’s vision. The MEG team has made it our mission to enable homeowners & architects to fulfill their creative instinct by designing homes dictated only by their natural surroundings with little to no compromise from energy efficiency regulations. With an unmatched understanding of the energy code, critical partner relationships with the most design + energy efficiency forward manufacturers, and years of experience putting the fragmented engineering design pieces together, MEG's work can be seen in architectural achievements up and down the California coast from San Diego to Napa, Lake Tahoe, the Central Valley, and of course, the Monterey Peninsula.
