Improving the Built Environment through Research, Design, and Technology

HVAC Consulting

With the rising cost of energy and the advancement of more efficient, tighter homes, precise Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) design has become essential to achieving energy conservation and the increased homeowner expectations on comfort.

SWA offers Residential consulting for architects, builders, contractors, and homeowners. SWA’s engineering services will add value to your project by optimizing the equipment cost, energy efficiency, and operating economics of your building systems. SWA’s whole-house building approach will allow for seamless integration of the various space conditioning system components. Accurate system sizing and design is the key to maximizing comfort for homeowners, while reducing call backs for builders. SWA also provides training for builders and their contractors on the optimal installation of forced-air ductwork to eliminate distribution and performance deficiencies.

SWA staff is experienced with the latest editions of Air Conditioning Contractors of America’s (ACCA) Manuals J, D, and S. SWA utilizes Wrightsoft’s Right-Suite Residential software package for HVAC designs. Whether you simply need building loads for permitting purposes or require full system schematics (or complete construction documents), SWA’s staff can assist you.
