AV Design Consulting

AV Design Consulting

Our expertise spans every aspect of your AV project, from its strategic and budgetary underpinnings to architectural concerns, user preferences, sustainability considerations, and much more. ClearTech’s “big picture” understanding of AV integration, combined with comprehensive technical, engineering, programming, product and partner knowledge, ensures that every element of your AV ecosystem is purpose-built to enhance communication, collaboration and engagement.

This is a critically important differentiator between ClearTech and other AV design consultants. Our wealth of current, real-world experience across the spectrum of AV integration means that we know what works – and what doesn’t. We know what’s sustainable – and what isn’t. Just as important, we know how to optimize your resources to arrive at the highest-performing, most reliable and cost-effective solution to meet the unique and evolving needs of your users and other stakeholders.

AV Design Consulting with Sustainability at its Core

ClearTech is committed to making a difference—not just for our clients but for the planet. As advocates of sustainable AV design, we integrate environmental stewardship into every project. Our approach aligns with the best practices provided by the independent non-profit organization, Sustainability in AV. In fact, we don’t just follow SAVe’s pioneering Guide to Sustainable Design and Installation. We helped write it.

A focus on lifecycle planning

From the initial design phase to end-of-life management, we ensure our AV design solutions support circular-economy principles to reduce waste through reuse, repair, and responsible recycling. When disposal is the only option, we seek out the most sustainable options. These practices are critically important in an era of increasing, environmentally disastrous e-waste.

Enhancing our communities

Partnering with local suppliers and recycling partners, we support eco-conscious practices that benefit your organization and the broader community. For example, by facilitating the reuse of unneeded but still usable AV equipment and peripherals via donations to schools and non-profits, etc, we reduce the amount of gear entering the waste stream while benefitting deserving organizations.

New criteria for product materials

We choose AV equipment and infrastructure materials that reflect a focus on longevity and recyclability. From the sourcing of product materials to the way gear is packaged and transported, many manufacturers do not consider the long-term impact of the goods they produce. We design solutions that provide the performance you need while minimizing the toll they take on our planet.

Maximizing energy efficiency

Tremendous savings can be realized simply by designing solutions with an eye toward energy efficiency. By recommending smart technologies and configurations – including power-saving lighting and shading and easy-to-execute rack-room solutions – ClearTech project architects and engineers help our clients reduce operational energy consumption without diminishing performance.

Creating a smarter, more sustainable future – together

When you choose ClearTech, you’re not just investing in AV technology; you’re investing in a vision for a smarter, more sustainable future.
