What does HVAC systems design include?
HVAC systems design is an important part of the overall engineering design of a building. It covers heating, ventilation and air conditioning solutions that provide a comfortable, safe and energy-efficient indoor environment, aligned with the building’s function, regulatory requirements and future operation.
IPA - Architecture and more develops HVAC design solutions for residential, public, office, commercial, industrial and mixed-use buildings. The systems may be powered by thermal energy, gas, electricity, geothermal sources and photovoltaic systems, depending on the specific requirements of the project and its energy efficiency goals.
During the design process, we consider the technological needs and specific requirements of the building, including temperature and humidity control, air exchange, overpressure regulation, air purity class, acoustic comfort and other parameters that are essential for the proper operation of the building.
HVAC systems need to be coordinated with the other engineering disciplines, including electrical installations, water supply and sewerage design, fire safety, building automation and BMS systems. This coordination is especially important in complex investment projects, where the different systems must work efficiently and without conflicts.
When needed, IPA - Architecture and more develops energy models of buildings, which allow energy consumption to be forecast, different technical solutions to be compared and energy efficiency to be optimized from the early design stages. This supports the selection of sustainable, economically sound and long-term efficient HVAC solutions.
