Commercial Laboratory Environmental Controls in Calabasas

Engineered environmental control, validated for laboratory performance

In Calabasas, commercial laboratories demand consistent conditions and documented control. #1 AC Guys designs, installs, commissions, and services integrated HVAC and controls that stabilize sensitive spaces while reducing energy waste. We combine cleanroom air handlers, redundant filtration, sensible/latent humidity management, and precision controls to maintain specifications across operating modes and seasons.

• Temperature stability: tight bands for equipment rooms, cleanrooms, and critical storage
• Humidity control: dehumidification/humidification with reheat and energy recovery
• Air cleanliness: HEPA/ULPA filtration, terminal modules, and ceiling grids for ISO 5–8
• Pressure cascades: directional airflow for compounding suites, BSL labs, and clean corridors
• Ventilation and capture: fume hoods, snorkels, and biosafety device integration
• Redundancy and reliability: N+1 fans, coils, and controls, with failover strategies
• Continuous monitoring: alarms, trending, and reporting through BAS/BMS

Our mission is healthy air for a healthy life—applied to commercial labs through clean, safe, and efficient environments that protect people, product, and process.

Codes, standards, and best practices we design to help you meet

We engineer systems aligned with leading standards and California requirements. We help your team pursue compliance and documentation by designing to:

• ISO 14644 cleanroom classes
• USP 797/800 compounding suite requirements
• ASHRAE laboratory ventilation and thermal guidelines
• California Title 24 and CALGreen energy standards
• Local permitting and air quality considerations (e.g., SCAQMD, LADBS)

We support commissioning and validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ), provide NIST‑traceable sensor calibration coordination, and furnish turnover packages with as‑built drawings, sequences, and test reports.

Design‑build and complex retrofits in Calabasas

Whether you are adapting a suite in a Calabasas business park or building a new facility, we specialize in complex, phased projects that must stay operational. Our engineers collaborate with owners, GCs, architects, and EHS teams to define airflow schemes, room pressurization matrices, and control sequences that balance performance and efficiency.

• Load studies and energy modeling to right‑size equipment
• Cleanroom zoning and terminal box selection for uniformity
• Custom sequences for recovery, purge, setback, and night mode
• BAS integration for trending, alarming, and audit logs
• Constructability planning for tight spaces and occupied buildings

We pair rigorous design with field‑proven commissioning steps: point‑to‑point checks, loop tuning, airflow/pressure verification, and final performance testing with documented results.

Controls, monitoring, and integration

Reliable control is the heart of a lab. We implement architectures that are secure, serviceable, and scalable.

• PLC or DDC controls with validated sequences for critical spaces
• Room pressure and RH monitoring with local and central alarms
• Trend logs, alarm histories, and automated reports for audits
• Integration with BAS/BMS, SCADA, and remote notification tools
• User access management and change logs for Good Engineering Practices

We also design resilient networks, power quality safeguards, and switchover logic that preserve control during utility events.

Service, maintenance, and lifecycle support

Performance degrades without care. Our planned maintenance programs protect your investment with calibration checks, filter changes, belt/drive service, coil cleaning, and seasonal re‑commissioning. We verify setpoints, tune loops, and re‑balance as needed to keep rooms within spec.

• Preventive maintenance aligned to lab duty cycles
• Emergency response and rapid fault diagnostics
• Replacement planning and energy upgrades
• Documentation updates and operator training

For Calabasas clients, we provide priority scheduling and fast on‑site support across Los Angeles County and nearby Orange, Ventura, and Western Riverside counties.

Our engineering lineage and factory training

#1 AC Guys is a 4th‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years of cumulative engineering experience. Our team has completed factory training at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). This foundation helps us select, apply, and commission equipment correctly for demanding laboratory environments.

Why #1 AC Guys for Calabasas laboratories

• Expertise on large, complex commercial projects
• Design‑build delivery with accountable commissioning
• Documented performance and validation support
• Redundancy and resilience strategies to protect uptime
• Local presence with fast response and lifecycle service

Every decision we make connects back to safety, quality, and efficiency—helping your team focus on science, not HVAC.
