Power and energy and health care are among the hottest markets for architecture, engineering, and planning (A/E/P) and environmental consulting firms in 2012, a recently published report says.
According to "2012 A/E/P and Environmental Consulting Industry Outlook," prepared by business-management-services provider ZweigWhite and the American Council of Engineering Companies, the top trends for 2012 include public/private partnerships, integrated project delivery, and building information modeling; the cost-effectiveness of sustainability; renovations and retrofits; a focus on infrastructure; and global vision. The report has an overview of predicted and past performance of regions in the United States and abroad and an in-depth analysis of market sectors, including commercial real estate, education, environmental, health care, and power and energy.
