The air conditioning load provides the basis for selecting the right HVAC equipment. It takes into account the heat coming into the area from outdoors, like sun rays entering a window or wind blowing against the side of the building, as well as the heat being generated from inside the area from people, appliances and lights.

HVAC Equipment

Once the heat load calculations are completed and using the calculation, the optimal equipment to meet the system requirements including the specific sizing of the air conditioning unit and the size of the ductwork components are determined.

Duct Design

A well-designed solution is critical for the performance of the ducted system. Duct design should always;

  • ensure direct routes to minimalise possible air friction loss
  • eliminate the potential spread of odours through the system from areas like the kitchen and bathroom
  • use quality sheet metal work to reduce air pressure drops
  • consider insulated components for energy efficiency
