HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. Because the operation of these systems is so intertwined, VMS Consultants employs people who work together to design them. The ventilation system, for example, distributes the internal air supply throughout the indoor regions after heating or cooling it to an acceptable temperature. The operation of air-handling systems influences the strain on heating and cooling equipment. The project team at VMS provides engineering and design services to transform conceptual requirements for a home or commercial HVAC system into a comprehensive final design. To make the process simpler, our qualified engineers will collaborate directly with your contractor, architect, project managers, and any other points of contact to assist any project.

NYC Building Codes apply to HVAC installations:

l The NYC Mechanical Code is responsible for establishing the majority of HVAC installation regulations. However, a lot of system parts also need to meet standards from other codes:

l The HVAC system’s electrical components must abide by the NYC Electrical Code.

l The New York City Fuel Gas Code must also be followed for HVAC installations requiring combustion equipment, such as furnaces or boilers.

l  Domestic hot water systems and hydronic HVAC systems are both covered by the NYC Plumbing Code.

Benefits of HVAC engineering consulting?

l The HVAC systems in your building can be optimized in three different ways by VMS consultants (engineering):

l More precise control over air temperature and humidity, while the ventilation system reduces the build-up of air pollutants by ensuring a sufficient flow of fresh air.

l  Greater energy efficiency: In many NYC buildings, HVAC installations use more than 60% of the energy. Therefore, energy-saving HVAC strategies can offer a strong return on investment.

l Cutting down on pollutants from the building: HVAC guidance can assist you in making your facility more environmentally friendly. Although HVAC equipment can also be fueled by cleaner energy sources, this is achieved as a result of energy efficiency. You may, for instance, switch your home’s heating and hot water systems over to natural gas from heating oil.
