If you are considering the construction of a new business or a large home, hiring an engineering firm to create custom heating system design drawings has many benefits. This is your chance to dictate the level of comfort for each area of the building and to make sure energy is not wasted in over-heating of areas that are rarely used, such as mechanical rooms and storage areas.
When choosing a commercial HVAC system for new construction, custom heating system design drawings will take into account the local climate, the building’s structure and cladding, the amount of sun and shade, along with how the building is used and when the building is occupied. Here are some of the benefits of working with mechanical design engineers for commercial and residential custom HVAC systems:
- install high-tech heating equipment with smart sensors and energy efficient performance
- custom design of ductwork and fans to facilitate multi-zone heating and control
- choice of heating system types from gas-fired, to heat pumps, boilers, or furnace systems
- properly sized duct work system to ensure air flow is balanced and operates quietly
Installing a heating system that is too large or too small for the structure can cause problems. If the ductwork is not properly sized, your heating system will have a shorter lifespan than intended, due to the restricted air flow causing the furnace to overheat. If the heating system is too large for the building’s square footage – it’s operation is still inefficient. The heating unit will cycle on/off more often, creating heat pockets within the building and shortening the life cycle of the heating unit.
When you choose INDBIM for custom heating system design drawings, you can be confident that your heating system is properly sized for the building’s square footage to provide optimum comfort and efficiency.
