Load Calculations
Designing air-conditioning and heating systems begins with detailed load calculations to ensure proper sizing of equipment. This step prevents over- or under-sizing, optimizing energy consumption and enhancing comfort. We utilize the latest software to perform these calculations in compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140-2007.
System Selection
Choosing the right air-conditioning and heating system, such as split systems, VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow), or central systems, based on the building’s requirements.
Zoning and Distribution
Incorporating zoning strategies to allow for targeted temperature control in different areas of the building, ensuring efficiency and occupant comfort.
HVAC Controls & Automation
Building Management Systems
Integration of advanced control systems that monitor and adjust HVAC performance in real time. BMS can automate temperature regulation, ventilation rates, and energy use, optimizing efficiency.
Smart Thermostats & Sensors
Leveraging intelligent controls that respond to occupancy, air quality, and weather conditions to adjust HVAC operation, maximizing energy savings.
Energy Monitoring
HVAC control systems that track and report energy usage, allowing for adjustments that reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
Ventilation Design
Indoor Air Quality
Designing ventilation systems that ensure consistent fresh air intake and proper filtration to maintain high air quality and prevent the buildup of pollutants.
Exhaust and Makeup Air Systems
Ensuring proper exhaust of contaminated air and bringing in conditioned makeup air, particularly for spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, and industrial environments.
Outside Air Systems
Integrating outside air systems to bring fresh, conditioned air into the building, maintaining a healthy indoor environment and ensuring compliance with ventilation standards. These systems are critical for controlling pollutants, managing humidity levels, and improving overall occupant comfort.
Boiler Design & Heating Systems
Boiler Sizing and Selection
Careful calculation of heating loads to select appropriately sized boilers for efficiency and performance. This also includes considerations for different fuel types (gas, oil, or electric boilers).
Condensing Boiler Technology
Highlighting the use of high-efficiency condensing boilers that recover heat from exhaust gases to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and lower operational costs.
Radiant Heating
Incorporating radiant floor heating or panel systems for more even heat distribution and enhanced comfort in specific applications.
