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.
Where we work around Nottingham
Nottingham has the full mix of premises that need cooling and heating: offices, shops, restaurants, gyms, clinics and technical rooms.
That includes premises in NG1, NG3 and NG7 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall. For HVAC design and heat load surveys in Nottingham, the survey looks at how the space is used, where equipment and ductwork can go and what the electrical supply can take.

Points to plan for in Nottingham
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
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.
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 Nottingham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Typical premises in Nottingham

- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
