Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (H.V.A.C.)

A high level of comfort is probably the most important requirement today for the occupants of buildings.

Overview

‘Mechanical services (i.e. heating, ventilation, and airconditioning – commonly known as HVAC ) are a fundamental consideration when designing for comfort.

The efficient design of HVAC services not only increases the occupants’ sense of well-being, it can also create considerable savings in building operation costs.

The running of HVAC services will be most efficient when pipes and ducts are insulated.

This will:

  • reduce energy costs
  • prevent condensation and freezing
  • provide sound as well as thermal insulation
  • protect occupants from dangerous contact with hot surfaces
