Step 1 – Project Analysis

Engineered Energy Systems uses a design-build approach to all HVAC construction projects big or small. The first step in the design-build process is to analyze the project or building to be conditioned. This process begins with performing space-by-space heat loss and gain calculations to determine how much energy it will take to appropriately condition each space. The building’s walls, windows, doors, and orientation are input into an hourly analysis software to determine peak heating and cooling needs throughout the year. The results of the calculations help to determine an HVAC system selection.

 

Step 2 – Identify Special Building Components

The second step works to identify special consideration items within the building that might affect HVAC system selection. Does your building have a wood burning fireplace? Does your building have exposed timbers and architectural wood features? These are two examples of many that may require the HVAC system to have additional components such as makeup air for the fireplace or humidification to prevent exposed beams from drying out and cracking. 

 

Step 3 – System Selection and Design

With steps 1 and 2 complete along with the client's energy goals, an HVAC system selection can be made. Although each HVAC system requires a different design approach, they all have the same goal of keeping the building conditioned and its’ occupants comfortable. Engineered Energy Systems uses special design techniques to ensure that each HVAC system is balanced, quiet, and efficient.

 

Step 4 – The Build

Engineered Energy Systems uses code compliant building techniques and does not sacrifice cost for quality.  Special attention is made to coordinate with all trades and the general contractor easing the building process. Enineered Energy Systems uses the latest technology for equipment and building materials to maximize system longevity, reliability, and efficiency. Once complete, the building will have a complimenting HVAC system meeting the goals defined in the design process.
