Alkaline Air Ltd. is the consulting practice of Steven Brown — a Red Seal Refrigeration Journeyman and mechanical engineer with 20+ years commissioning the systems that keep critical facilities running.
L2/L3 functional testing, TAB, pressure/leak testing, equipment startup, and performance validation on chilled water, hydronic, and refrigerant-based systems.
Central plant and room-level cooling commissioning — chillers, CRAHs/CRACs, cooling towers, and hydronic distribution for mission-critical environments.
Building automation programming and verification across Delta, Honeywell, Distech, and Siemens platforms, with full sequence-of-operations testing.
Site meetings, construction progress review, RFI coordination, and payment certificate review through to project closeout.
Identifying design and coordination issues before they hit the field — document review, BIM clash detection, and contractor scope verification.
Technical specification development that produces consistent, comparable vendor pricing and defensible contract award recommendations.
Steven holds both a Red Seal Refrigeration Journeyman qualification and a mechanical engineering education in progress — giving Alkaline Air the ability to speak fluently across trades, contractors, and design engineers, and to catch problems that a purely academic or purely field-based reviewer would miss.
