Local points to consider
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Alloa are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
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.
