In addition, we provide security lighting designs for large campus environments, parking structures, and prisons.
Energy Cost Analysis/Reduction
Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Kittatinny Mountain Tunnel, Pennsylvania
The lighting and energy audit is the first step. But intrinsic to development of an energy reduction plan is setting policy regarding amount of light present in the background as well as that presented to the office worker or student as task lighting. This policy driven reduction verifies that worker/student productivity will not suffer as result in additional cost as side-effects of re-engineering lighting.
Savings through Sensing/Control/Selection Lighting in most buildings consumes simple retrofits of lamp product may save energy costs, but the cost of labor, materials, and re-wiring may out weigh these savings. Adding controls, energy monitoring, and flexible automated scheduling brings the focus of green savings into a clear illuminated view.
Multi-Disciplined Staff PSE maintains a multi-disciplined in-house team of professionals operating from offices in the Philadelphia area. Our staff includes Professional Engineers registered in fourteen states.

Saint Elizabeths Hospital
Fencing and Facility Hardening Design & Commissioning Washington, DC
PSE’s specialized experience in forensic facilities includes the first psychiatric institution in America, Friends Hospital, as well as the nation’s first federal psychiatric facility, Saint Elizabeths. Our experience in secure environments, while being sensitive to humane needs, sets our firm apart from ordinary design firms.
Our team provided facility hardening and perimeter security design for the new hospital. This involved working with a single building which would be divided into a secure side requiring a perimeter solution and a non-secure side with no perimeter requirements. Since this was a single connected building, PSE developed plans to separate the building using perimeter fencing and barriers which would span the exterior walls and rooftop to provide the necessary separation. Our design provided three perimeter types, to include a 12’ high nuisance fence separating a historical public cemetery from the hospital grounds, a 15’ high arched fence which included a fiber optic intrusion detection system, and a taut wire detection barrier. The taut wire detection barrier and arched fence provided the necessary perimeter to deter, detect, and delay any attempt at escape from residents located on the secure side of the facility. Our perimeter design was integrated into our other electronic security system components including access control, security communications, perimeter lighting and video surveillance providing seamless integration between each of the hospital’s security systems for the perimeter of the building. This allowed security personnel to respond quickly to any disturbance along the perimeter by utilizing automatic call-up of lighting, communication, and video surveillance when either the taut wire or arched perimeter fence had been disturbed. The Pre-design report serves as a foundation for the next stages of the project and for the design basis of the project. Our staff established the initial, high-level functional security requirements.

National Museum of American Jewish History
Technology Integration Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The National Museum of American Jewish History is located on historic Independence Mall. The new building represents a history of the Jewish people, from those who gave the early colonialists financing to continue the Revolutionary War, such as Robert Morris, to today’s successful Jewry in America. Its five story 100,000 SF design will be as remarkable as the data/ voice/video capabilities of the site to manage both historic content and museum transactions.
The National Museum of American Jewish History is located in Philadelphia’s Historic District on Independence Mall. Seeking expertise in integration of data, voice, and video in a secure expansive environment, Professional Systems Engineering (PSE) was selected to design all networks and remote services for wired and wireless networks, conferencing capabilities, exhibit data support for both high speed and wireless networks, and tele/data/video services. PSE was chosen to design and deploy technology for this special mission to herald the assimilation of Jewry into the United States. PSE’s first task was to provide an assessment of existing networks, connectivity issues, information technologies transition to the new site, and recommend unified digital electronic communication platforms. This implementation of an “All Digital” site includes data/voice/video and conferencing using the latest secure appliance and network infrastructure that can handle both gift shop transactions and prevent denial-of-service attacks, as well as intrusion detection to any of the data equipment.
