The steps for a project in Cumbria
Assess
We work out how many people use each space and the fresh-air rate needed. For sites in Cumbria 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.
What to think about in Cumbria
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
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.
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Types of premises we cover in Cumbria
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
