New Construction HVAC

Advanced System Design and Load Calculations

Professional load calculations serve as the cornerstone of effective HVAC design in new construction. We utilize industry-standard Manual J calculations to determine precise heating and cooling loads for each space within your building. These calculations factor in heat gain from sunlight, heat loss through walls and windows, internal heat sources from occupants and equipment, and infiltration rates based on construction quality. By avoiding the common mistake of oversizing equipment, we help prevent short cycling, excessive humidity, uneven temperatures, and premature system wear.

Our design process extends beyond simple BTU calculations to encompass complete system integration. Manual D ductwork design ensures proper airflow distribution throughout the building, while Manual S equipment selection matches system components for optimal performance. We carefully plan supply and return air pathways, considering noise levels, air velocity, and static pressure to create quiet, efficient systems that deliver consistent comfort to every room.

State-of-the-Art Equipment Options

Today’s new construction projects benefit from remarkable advances in HVAC technology. Variable-speed systems adjust output to match real-time demand, providing superior humidity control and energy savings compared to traditional single-stage equipment. Heat pump technology has evolved dramatically, with modern units delivering efficient heating even in subfreezing temperatures. Geothermal systems harness stable ground temperatures to achieve efficiency ratings exceeding 400%, making them ideal for environmentally conscious projects with available land area.

Communicating systems represent the cutting edge of HVAC control, with components that continuously share operational data to optimize performance. These smart systems can detect developing issues before they cause failures, automatically adjust settings based on weather forecasts, and provide detailed energy usage reports. Zoning systems divide buildings into independently controlled areas, allowing customized comfort settings for different spaces while reducing energy waste in unoccupied zones.

Commercial New Construction Expertise

Commercial new construction presents unique challenges that demand specialized expertise. Our technicians service everything from room air conditioners to 200-ton industrial chillers, bringing comprehensive knowledge to projects of any scale. We design systems for diverse commercial applications including office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, medical facilities, and industrial complexes. Each building type requires specific considerations for ventilation rates, humidity control, air filtration, and equipment redundancy.

Building codes and efficiency standards continue to evolve, with many jurisdictions now requiring specific SEER ratings, AFUE percentages, and ventilation standards. We stay current with all local and national code requirements, ensuring your new construction project meets or exceeds regulatory standards while qualifying for available utility rebates and tax incentives.

Installation Excellence and Project Coordination

Successful new construction HVAC installation requires seamless coordination with other trades throughout the building process. We work closely with general contractors to schedule our rough-in work when framing and electrical systems are ready, ensuring ductwork and refrigerant lines are properly routed before walls are closed. Our installation teams follow manufacturer specifications precisely, using proper brazing techniques, nitrogen purging, and vacuum procedures to ensure contamination-free refrigerant systems.

Planning for the Future

New construction offers the unique opportunity to implement HVAC solutions that will serve your building for decades. Consider these forward-thinking strategies:

• Oversized electrical connections: Installing higher-capacity electrical service during construction costs far less than upgrading later
• Accessible equipment placement: Positioning units for easy maintenance access reduces future service costs
• Expansion capabilities: Designing systems with growth potential accommodates future building additions
• Smart technology readiness: Installing compatible thermostats and controls enables future automation upgrades
