Commercial Ventilation Design in Burbank

When air quality, comfort, and code compliance matter, #1 AC Guys brings a rigorous, engineering‑first approach to Commercial Ventilation Design in Burbank. From concept to permit sets, our deliverables are practical for installers, aligned with budget realities, and optimized for long‑term operating cost.

What we design and deliver

• Ventilation basis of design (BOD) aligned with program, occupancy, and schedule
• Outdoor air strategies: ERV/DOAS, economizers, and demand‑controlled ventilation
• Gree VRF/air handler integration for efficient, quiet distribution
• Duct layouts, sizing, pressure calcs, and diffuser placement for balanced airflow
• Filtration and IAQ: MERV‑13+, air cleaning options, and source capture where needed
• Kitchen, restroom, and specialized exhaust (makeup air, hoods, code clearances)
• Controls sequences, CO2 setpoints, and zoning
• Equipment schedules, submittal support, and coordination with architectural/MEP

We design to ASHRAE 62.1 and California Title 24, with attention to CALGreen and local fire/smoke requirements. In noise‑sensitive environments like sound stages and edit bays, we tune air velocities, diffuser types, and equipment selection to protect acoustics without sacrificing ventilation rates.
Our team is factory‑trained at Gree (China), Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), and Hier (China), so your design benefits from deep product know‑how on real‑world installations.

Gree‑forward engineering

Gree VRF systems can dramatically reduce energy use while maintaining precise comfort. We match Gree VRF with ERV/DOAS to deliver outdoor air efficiently, separating latent/sensible loads and keeping indoor conditions stable. This approach streamlines duct runs, reduces fan power, and supports modern controls for demand‑driven ventilation.

• Right‑sized ventilation to occupancy and process needs
• Energy recovery to cut conditioning load on outdoor air
• Smart sequences for CO2‑based demand control
• Serviceable layouts that installers and facilities teams appreciate

Industries and spaces we serve in Burbank

• Studios and production: stages, edit suites, ADR/VO rooms
• Offices and creative spaces: open plans, conference rooms, wellness rooms
• Retail and restaurants: dining rooms, kitchens, makeup air and hood exhaust
• Light industrial and warehouses: ventilation, spot cooling, and air changes per hour
• Healthcare and specialty areas (non‑OSHPD): procedure rooms, labs, and clean‑adjacent spaces

Every building is different. We calibrate outdoor air, pressure relationships, and filtration to each occupancy so your system delivers comfort, compliance, and lower lifecycle cost.

Our process

• Discovery and site walk: goals, constraints, schedule, and utility considerations
• Load and airflow calculations: occupancy, process loads, code minimums
• Schematic design: BOD, equipment options (with Gree VRF where appropriate)
• Design development: duct routes, risers, controls logic, and coordination
• Construction documents: permit‑ready plans, schedules, and details
• Bid and build support: RFIs, submittal review, and field clarifications
• Commissioning support: verification of airflow, setpoints, and CO2/DCV

Compliance, health, and energy

We engineer to ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation rates, Title 24 Part 6 energy criteria, and CALGreen priorities. Your design will include clear sequences for economizers and demand‑controlled ventilation to meet compliance while improving IAQ and reducing operating cost. We specify MERV‑13+ filtration and practical service access so maintenance remains simple.
Our mission is healthy air for a healthy life—delivered through measurable airflow, verified filtration, and thoughtful controls.
