HVAC Plan Analysis and Design

GWS offers HVAC engineering services that include plan analysis, design, layout, and equipment sizing. We design the HVAC system from your construction plans to assess the unique qualities of each home. We routinely work with builders and HVAC contractors to determine the appropriate sizing, layout, and room ventilation requirements to maximize home owner comfort and indoor air quality. Through the inspection process, we gather data to verify equipment specifications including SEER and capacity ratings.

GWS utilizes the latest software and technology, Manual J Version, to analyze and develop the proper HVAC system specifications. GWS uses research from national laboratories and manufacturers to improve building performance. Our engineering approach to residential energy efficiency is based on building science principles using building components to determine the optimum HVAC system requirements. We work with builders and contractors to determine the cost and performance feasibility of system upgrades such as fresh air ventilation, humidity control and air flow performance.
