Burbank Commercial Hospital & Lab Ventilation — Lennox System Integration

Why Burbank Facilities Trust #1 AC Guys

We are a family business serving Southern California with a fourth-generation lineage of engineers and more than 80 years of engineering experience. Our mission is healthy air for a healthy life, and nowhere is that more critical than in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. We specialize in large, complex projects where precision airflow, cleanroom-level filtration, and dependable pressurization are non-negotiable.

We integrate Lennox commercial air handlers and rooftop units with advanced controls, measurement, and verification so your facility achieves clean air targets while managing energy. Our team is trained by manufacturers at Fujitsu in Japan, Mitsubishi Electric in Thailand, Midea in China, Gree in China, and Haier in China. This factory exposure supports our engineering-first approach to design, commissioning, and service across diverse systems and environments.

Engineering-Driven Design and Delivery

Every healthcare and lab space is unique. We start with a detailed requirements review, airflow and pressure mapping, and equipment selection that balances performance, redundancy, and lifecycle cost. Our drawings, submittals, and sequences of operation are crafted to align with clinical workflows and maintenance needs, reducing nuisance alarms and unplanned downtime.

• Airflow and pressurization strategy for isolation rooms, ORs, pharmacies, and labs
• HEPA or ULPA filtration, duct design, and terminal devices for consistent delivery
• Controls strategy and BAS integration with trending, alarms, and fault detection
• Redundancy, N+1 planning, and service clearances for maintainability
• Commissioning, functional testing, and test and balance for verifiable results

Lennox Integration and Retrofits

We design and retrofit systems that integrate seamlessly with Lennox commercial AHUs and RTUs, leveraging variable speed technology, demand control ventilation, and heat recovery where appropriate. Whether replacing aging rooftop units, adding isolation rooms, or upgrading filtration and controls, we phase work to keep departments operational and productive.

• Lennox AHU and RTU replacement or upgrades with high-MERV and HEPA solutions
• Smart zoning and VAV for labs and patient areas to stabilize pressure cascades
• Energy optimization aligned with California Title 24 and utility incentives
• Controls retrofits to unify disparate equipment under one BAS

Healthcare and Lab Standards We Support

Our designs and commissioning processes support applicable standards and guidelines. We coordinate with your compliance team and the Authority Having Jurisdiction to streamline approvals and inspections.

• ASHRAE 170 ventilation of healthcare facilities
• USP 797 and USP 800 for sterile compounding and hazardous drugs
• FGI guidelines for healthcare facilities planning and design
• CDC recommendations for airborne infection isolation rooms
• California Title 24 energy standards
• HCAI (formerly OSHPD) coordination where applicable

Commercial Ventilation Services

We cover the full lifecycle of hospital and lab ventilation for Burbank clients and beyond, from concept to ongoing operations.

• Design-build and plan-spec delivery for new construction and renovations
• Isolation rooms, negative and positive pressure suites, OR ventilation
• Pharmacy cleanrooms with pressure differentials and HEPA terminal boxes
• Biotech, R&D, and university labs including fume hood and specialty exhaust
• HEPA and ULPA filtration upgrades and certification support
• Testing, adjusting, and balancing with detailed reporting and trending
• BAS integration, controls programming, and alarming for compliance and uptime
• Preventive maintenance, filter programs, and performance tuning

Project Types We Excel In

We thrive in sensitive environments where staging, infection control, and documentation matter.

• Occupied retrofits with infection control risk assessment barriers
• Rapid isolation conversions and temporary ventilation strategies
• Equipment right-sizing, duct rework, and air distribution corrections
• Verification and fine-tuning after remodels and equipment changes

Documentation, Commissioning, and Training

Clear documentation reduces lifecycle risk. We provide submittals, O&M manuals, redlines, and commissioning forms. Our functional tests verify sequences, alarms, pressure cascades, and emergency modes. We also train your facilities staff so daily operation, filter changes, and alarm responses are straightforward and safe.

Safety, Cleanliness, and Infection Control

Our crews follow strict jobsite protocols, including containment, dust control, and post-work verification. We coordinate shutdowns and cutovers to minimize disruption. Where required, we implement temporary filtration and pressure control to maintain safe conditions during construction.

Service Area

We proudly serve Burbank and all of Los Angeles County, with extended coverage in Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. If your facility operates across multiple campuses, we can standardize specifications and controls for consistency and ease of maintenance.
