Chinook Recognized as Top 25 Among 2019 “Commissioning Giants” and Places for Second Consecutive Year


Only Woman-Owned Commissioning Services and Facilities Engineering Firm Ranked

 Chinook Systems, Inc. (Chinook), a commissioning services and consulting engineering firm, was named among Consulting-Specifying Engineer Magazine’s (CSE) 2019 “Commissioning Giants.” CSE ranked Chinook as the 16th largest firm in the nation, based upon data reported for compilation of the 2019 list. The Commissioning Giants list highlights the top 25 firms. Last year, Chinook appeared for the first time on the list and has now been recognized for two straight years.

“Chinook’s explosive growth and this significant industry recognition could not have been achieved without our remarkable team,” said Chinook President Wanda Lenkewich, CxA, LEED, AP. “By ‘team,’ I mean our diligent in-house commissioning agents and engineers, as well as our clients and industry partners. Integration is the ‘Chinook Way’ to bring complementary perspectives together for addressing critical infrastructure challenges.”

Chinook’s team has deep commissioning experience with complementary professional certifications and degrees in engineering, energy management, cybersecurity and architecture. Specifically, Chinook’s commissioning services consist of:

  • Whole Building Commissioning
  • Retro-Commissioning
  • Re-Commissioning
  • Monitoring Based Commissioning
  • Building Enclosure Commissioning
  • LEED Enhanced Commissioning
  • CyberCx™

“Commissioning as a discipline is recognized as the most reliable way to optimize systems performance, increase energy efficiency, and lower operating costs over the lifespan of an asset,” continued Lenkewich. “While we have expanded our service offerings over the years, commissioning has, and continues to be central to our firm’s strategy.”

Chinook is at the forefront of Cybersecurity for Industrial and Facility-Related Control Systems, and is first to offer a fully integrated Cyber Commissioning (CyberCxTM) practice. Chinook’s commissioning agents and engineers are cyber certified and offer advisory services, assessments, training and implementation of its CyberCx™ solutions and technology.
