Sharc is a Global leader in Thermal Heat Recovery with offices in North America & Europe, and operations in Asia and Australia.

The new Building will be LEED Platinum Class A, incorporating every state-of-the-art environmentally sustainable feature used in modern construction. Alternative energy will be supplied by an innovative thermal heat recovery system from Sharc.
The building is slated to open in the next few months, and it will be the most energy efficient, and lowest carbon emitting building in North America. Sharc is honored and tremendously proud for being selected by the extremely sophisticated Washington Water & Sewage Authority and the two highly regarded companies, globally renowned for their futuristic, environment friendly, design and construction. Sharc intends to work with these two great companies in the future along with other industry leaders, private and public organization worldwide.
