Commercial Ventilation Design in Glendale, CA

When your Glendale project demands proven commercial ventilation design, you need an engineering partner who balances indoor air quality, energy, acoustics, and code—without guesswork. #1 AC Guys is that partner. As a 4th‑generation family business with 80+ years in engineering, we take an engineering‑first approach to every system we design and build.

Engineering‑first ventilation that performs

We design around the building’s real usage: people, processes, contaminants, heat loads, and schedules. Our team models airflows, selects equipment, and specifies controls to deliver the right outdoor air at the right time—without over‑ventilating or wasting energy. Expect quieter spaces, stable temperatures, and clean, healthy air.

Typical strategies include DOAS with energy recovery, ERV/HRV integration, demand‑control ventilation via CO2 sensors, pressure zoning, and MERV‑13+ filtration with HEPA or UV‑C options where appropriate. We coordinate with your architect, GC, and trades to keep the design buildable and on budget.

Designed for health, code, and efficiency

Our mission is healthy air for healthy lives. Every design is aligned with ASHRAE 62.1/55, California Title 24, IMC, and local Glendale amendments. We right‑size outdoor air, filtration, and exhaust, then document compliance and commissioning steps so your inspections go smoothly and your occupants breathe better.

We also consider acoustics, maintenance access, and lifecycle cost—so the system remains serviceable and efficient for years. Where it makes sense, we integrate energy recovery and smart controls to reduce utility spend while maintaining air quality and comfort.

AC PRO‑specified components and lifecycle value

We specify and source AC PRO commercial ventilation equipment and accessories to match the design intent—fans, ERVs, DOAS units, dampers, economizers, VAV boxes, and high‑performance filtration assemblies. With robust product availability and support, we shorten lead times and keep your project moving.

We never push one‑size‑fits‑all. Each selection is application‑driven, value‑engineered, and validated against performance targets, acoustic limits, and maintenance requirements.

Complex projects solved

From multi‑tenant offices to medical suites, restaurants with kitchen exhaust/make‑up air, schools, retail, and light industrial spaces, we thrive on complexity. We excel at tight retrofits, phasing around live operations, and designs that must reconcile historic architecture with modern codes.

• Airflow balancing for multi‑zone and multi‑tenant buildings
• Grease, general exhaust, and make‑up air coordination
• Pressurization control for entries, stairwells, and shafts
• High‑filtration strategies for sensitive environments
• Controls sequences that minimize energy while protecting IAQ

What you get in a #1 AC Guys design

• Site survey, load/ventilation calcs, and air balance schedules
• Equipment schedules, submittals, and control sequences
• Duct layout, risers, details, and coordination notes
• Title 24 documentation and IMC/ASHRAE 62.1 compliance paths
• Commissioning plan, TAB scope, and O&M deliverables

Need sealed drawings for permit? We provide clear, buildable documents that keep plan review and inspections predictable.

Our process

• Consult: Goals, constraints, timeline, and budget
• Survey: Field conditions, existing equipment, access, noise
• Engineering: Calcs, selections, and preliminary layouts
• Review: Value‑engineering and stakeholder coordination
• Finalize: Permit‑ready documents and procurement plan
• Build & Commission: Install support, startup, and TAB

Training pedigree you can trust

Our engineers have trained at manufacturer facilities including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). This factory‑level perspective informs our selections, controls, and commissioning so your system performs to spec on day one.
