Alkaline Air Ltd. is the consulting practice of Steven Brown, a Red Seal Refrigeration Journeyman with mechanical engineering education and 20+ years of third-party commissioning, from hyperscale data centre campuses to BC's major hospitals. Full lifecycle L0 to L6 commissioning, from design review to handover.
Full lifecycle L0 to L6 commissioning: design and submittal review, factory witness testing, installation verification, functional and integrated systems testing, TAB, and handover on chilled water, hydronic, and refrigerant-based systems.
Full lifecycle L0 to L6 commissioning on greenfield hyperscale builds, expansions, and upgrades, including chillers, cooling towers, CRAHs/CRACs, AHUs, RTUs, and CDUs for high-density liquid cooling.
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 through document review, BIM clash detection, and contractor scope verification.
Technical specification development that produces consistent, comparable vendor pricing and defensible contract award recommendations.
Steve 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.
