We work out how many people use each space and the fresh-air rate needed.
Design
Fan, duct and grille sizes are designed for air flow, noise and energy use.

Local points to consider
Fire
Ducts passing through fire-rated walls or floors need fire dampers.
Working hours
Most Formby businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
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.
