The "Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning" (HVAC) section includes a range of engineering solutions that ensure a comfortable indoor climate, energy efficiency, and building safety. It encompasses the design of three key systems: heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Heating:- Building heat loss calculation.
- System type selection (water, air, electric, underfloor heating).
- Boiler, radiator, and piping selection.
- Hydraulic calculations and layout diagrams.
- Energy efficiency requirements considered.
Ventilation:- Air exchange calculation.
- Design of natural and forced ventilation.
- Development of smoke control systems (for commercial and multi-apartment buildings).
- Selection of ventilation equipment (units, air ducts, heat recovery ventilators (HRVs)).
- Aerodynamic calculations.
Air Conditioning:- Cooling load calculation.
- System type selection (split systems, VRV, chilled water fan coil systems, central air conditioning).
- Indoor and outdoor unit placement.
- Refrigerant line design.
- Integration with ventilation and automation systems.
