Huckabee announces innovative and sustainable MEP engineering services 

Huckabee is excited to announce the addition of MEP engineering to our suite of education-focused services with the acquisition of IEG, the state’s leader in sustainable and cost-effective design strategies for school facilities.  

Huckabee has provided in-house structural engineering services for two decades and, with this acquisition, can now provide clients with an even more integrated and holistic design approach.  

Founded by Don Penn over 30 years ago, IEG has been dedicated to educating school districts and other specialty clients in ways to become more environmentally friendly and cost-effective in their mechanical, electrical and plumbing design. IEG has created some of the most energy-efficient facilities in the country, designing over 25 million square feet of geothermal heat pump systems and the first Net Zero middle school in Texas.   

Together, Huckabee and IEG have completed 150 projects together over the past 20 years for school districts across Texas. Don Penn and his staff of talented engineers and other professionals will remain in the company and continue to serve current and future clients.  

“We are excited to partner with IEG,” said Chris Huckabee, CEO. “We have always been like-minded in our commitment to excellence and client service – we knew joining forces would enable both our organizations to bring even MORE value to our clients.”
