The steps for a project in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Assess
We work out how many people use each space and the fresh-air rate needed. For sites in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Design
Fan, duct and grille sizes are designed for air flow, noise and energy use.
Install
Ductwork and fans are installed and connected to controls.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
Local points to consider
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
