The steps for a project in Glasgow
Calculate
Fresh-air needs are calculated per room.
Select
A unit is chosen for air flow, efficiency and space.
Install
Unit, ductwork, terminals and controls are fitted. In Glasgow we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance
Supply and extract air flows are balanced and commissioned.
Local points to consider
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Leased premises
If your Glasgow premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
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.
