Local points to consider
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
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.
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 Grangemouth are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
