The firm’s first FPE holder, Brandon Cash, will lead the in-house discipline as demand grows across higher education, warehousing, and mission-critical products.

Our founder breaks down the most common myths about data center development to his former hometown paper, Kansas’s Beloit Call. Read the full article here:

Shumate Engineering ranks on key industry lists, including “Top 400 Building Design Firms” and “Top 80 Engineering Firms” for 2026.

On the list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., Shumate Engineering ranks No. 553 overall and No. 1 for data center engineering firms.

Shumate Engineering takes its place as the fastest-growing data center engineering firm in the U.S.

Daren Shumate comments on the challenges of adaptive reuse projects, and what engineers will be looking for in the wake of a buckling incident in New York City that forced the evacuation of a major high-rise in Midtown Manhattan.

The future looks bright in the world of data center cooling. The advances in liquid cooling and the level of innovation that is emerging means data centers are about to get a lot better at keeping things cool.

Shumate Engineering also placed on the WBJ’s annual list of the largest employers in the Washington, D.C. Metro Area.

Shumate Engineering places No. 122 on the ENR “Top Design Firms” list, which ranks the largest U.S.-based designs firms, both publicly and privately held, based on design-specific revenue.

As artificial intelligence continues to permeate everyday life, the data centers needed tosupport the burgeoning technology are popping up across America—many close to residential areas. More than one-third of Americans now live within a few miles of at least one data center.

Our patented design for a hybrid-dry/adiabatic cooling stem was featured in this strategic analysis of the data center industry.

Steve Spinazzola and Justin Penrod draft a feature article about the HDAC design they invented, which saves data centers 50% of power and 93% of water.

As AI drives data center density to new extremes, Shumate Engineering unveils a game-changing hybrid cooling design. In this episode of the DCF Show podcast, Daren Shumate and Steve Spinazzola explain how their HDAC system slashes water use, cuts power in half, and delivers PUEs as low as 1.05, all via off-the-shelf components.

Shumate Engineering has developed a unique central plant design called Hybrid Dry/Adiabatic Cooling (HDAC) that can effectively handle densities up to 40 kW per cabinet while simultaneously achieving a significantly lower Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) than any air-cooled system.
