An integrated HVAC system is essential in modern, large-scale buildings, but decisions as to the required specifications can have a significant and lasting impact on overall project costs. Rather than educated guesswork, wouldn’t you rather have actual data on which to base your decision? That’s where Q-Mech Consulting Engineers can assist. We have deep expertise in HVAC optimisation and specifications, and can advise on selecting the best possible solution. Where your project already has an installed HVAC solution, we can help with optimisation and reduced running costs.
