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.
Working in Shirley
Shirley has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Solihull is about 3 km away.
That includes premises in B90, BH23, CR0, DE6 and SO15 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Solihull, Birmingham and Smethwick. Buildings across the West Midlands range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- System options with pros, cons and budget costs
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Electrical load and supply requirements
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval
- Written specification for pricing

Local points to consider
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.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Typical premises in Shirley
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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).
