An HVAC design and heat load survey works out how much heating and cooling each space needs — from occupancy, equipment, lighting, glazing, orientation and the building fabric — and sets out the system type, unit sizes and positions, pipe and duct routes and controls in a written specification.
Berkhamsted and surrounding areas
In a town like Berkhamsted, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Watford is about 17 km away.
That includes premises in HP4 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Chesham, Hemel Hempstead and Amersham, all within easy reach of Berkhamsted. Buildings across Hertfordshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss calculations
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Electrical load and supply requirements
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval
- Written specification for pricing

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.
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
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.
Who we work with in Berkhamsted
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
