• Experience with Institutional Projects: Look for engineers who have a portfolio that includes work on educational institutions, government buildings, and correctional facilities. Their experience will be crucial in understanding the specific codes, regulations, and challenges associated with these types of projects.

• Knowledge of Safety and Security Systems: Given the nature of jails and even schools, it’s important that the engineers have experience with safety and security systems, such as surveillance, access control, and emergency systems.

• Sustainability Practices: Consider firms that employ sustainable design practices, especially for schools, as energy efficiency and sustainability are increasingly important in educational settings.

• Local Codes and Regulations: Ensure that the engineers are familiar with local building codes and regulations related to electrical installations in public buildings.
