Calabasas Commercial Laboratory Environmental Controls — #1 AC Guys

Healthy indoor air is our mission because healthy research depends on it. In Calabasas, we engineer commercial laboratory environmental controls that protect people, processes, and results—without sacrificing energy performance. Our fourth-generation approach blends practical field wisdom with modern controls, creating stable, validated environments for R&D, biotech, pharma prep, cleanrooms, university labs, and specialized spaces like vivariums and BSL suites.

What we deliver for Calabasas laboratories

• Precise temperature and humidity control with tight tolerances
• Positive/negative pressurization strategies for specific room cascades
• HEPA/MERV filtration, laminar flow, and airflow zoning
• N+1 redundancy for fans, coils, and critical components
• Smart controls (BACnet/Modbus), alarming, and trend logging
• Outdoor air optimization, energy recovery, and demand-based ventilation
• Commissioning, TAB, validation support, and documentation

Our team is factory-trained at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). Combined with AC PRO parts and equipment availability, we can mobilize quickly for complex commercial projects in Calabasas and throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County.

Clean, controlled, and compliant by design

We engineer systems to help facilities align with applicable codes and standards, including ASHRAE 170 where relevant, ISO 14644 cleanroom guidelines, USP 797/800 for compounding environments, NFPA 45 for labs using chemicals, CDC/NIH guidance for BSL spaces, and California Mechanical Code / Title 24 energy requirements. Our engineers design with risk-based airflow, pressure differentials, and redundancy to protect critical operations.

• Room pressure differentials for containment and product protection
• HEPA strategies for cleanrooms and critical zones
• Local exhaust integration (e.g., fume hoods) with make-up air balance
• Sequence-of-operations tailored to lab modes and setback schedules
• Trend logging for audits, investigations, and continuous improvement

Controls, monitoring, and data you can trust

We integrate controls that make performance visible: continuous monitoring, alarm thresholds, and historical trends. Our solutions can interface with building management systems for centralized oversight and remote diagnostics. This transparency supports validation, SOP adherence, and rapid troubleshooting.

• Secure alarming and notifications for deviation events
• Analytics for energy and stability optimization
• Data export to support documentation and audits

Design-build, retrofit, and expansion

Whether you are upgrading legacy air handlers, converting office space into a research suite, or expanding a cleanroom, we deliver end-to-end services: assessment, load calculations, airflow modeling, sequence design, installation, commissioning, and service. We prioritize maintainability and lifecycle cost so your facility remains reliable and efficient.

• Right-sized airflows and coil selections for target setpoints
• Noise and vibration management for sensitive instruments
• Service clearances, access, and maintainability built in
• Materials and sealants selected for cleanability and durability

Commissioning, balancing, and validation support

Our commissioning and test-and-balance process verifies that equipment, controls, and airflows perform as designed. We document setpoints, alarms, trend points, and operating envelopes to support validation needs and inspection readiness.

• Functional testing of sequences and setpoint stability
• Room pressure verification and airflow direction tests
• Filter integrity checks and documented changeout schedules
• Owner training and O&M documentation

AC PRO-backed availability and rapid response

Through AC PRO supply support, critical parts and equipment can be sourced quickly, helping to compress timelines for repairs, retrofits, and expansions. This responsiveness is especially valuable for high-stakes lab environments that cannot afford extended downtime.
