Glendale Commercial Ventilation Design

Engineered Ventilation, Built for Glendale Buildings

At #1 AC Guys, commercial ventilation design is led by career engineers who understand that IAQ, comfort, and compliance must work together. Our fourth‑generation family team applies 80+ years of engineering knowledge to Glendale’s diverse building stock—from historic façades to modern mixed‑use—so your system performs in the real world, not just on paper.

We specialize in complex, multi‑zone, and high‑occupancy environments, integrating strategies such as demand‑controlled ventilation, ERV/HRV heat recovery, DOAS, economizers, and advanced controls. Every design is documented for clarity, coordinated for constructability, and optimized for lifecycle cost.

What You Get in Our Ventilation Design Package

• Site survey and existing conditions review with load and ventilation calculations
• Title 24 documentation and ASHRAE 62.1 Ventilation Rate Procedure compliance
• Duct layout, sizing, and pressure drop analysis for low‑noise, efficient performance
• Fan selection, energy recovery strategy (ERV/HRV), and economizer integration
• Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) concepts for humidity and IAQ control
• Kitchen exhaust and make‑up air coordination; grease duct and hood performance
• Garage ventilation and CO/NOx sensor strategies to meet local code requirements
• Filtration and air cleaning recommendations (MERV levels, capture efficiency)
• Acoustical targets and mitigation strategies for occupant comfort
• Sequence of operations and controls points list for BMS integration
• Equipment schedules, submittal guidance, and specifications
• CAD/BIM drawings for coordination with architectural and structural trades
• Constructability review, value engineering options, and budget alignment
• Commissioning plan outline and TAB support coordination

Systems and Applications We Design

• DOAS with ERV/HRV for decoupled ventilation and precise IAQ control
• Packaged rooftop units and heat pumps with optimized ventilation strategies
• VRF/VRV air distribution with dedicated outdoor air and balanced pressurization
• Commercial kitchens: exhaust, make‑up air, and hood capture efficiency
• Parking garages: dilution ventilation and sensor control logic
• Healthcare clinics and treatment spaces: pressure relationships and filtration
• Gyms and studios: high‑occupancy ventilation and humidity management
• Offices and retail: demand control via CO2 sensing and zoning

Our Process

1. Discovery & Goals. We clarify occupancy, schedules, IAQ targets, budget, and constraints.
2. Survey & Modeling. We document existing conditions, run airflow and energy analyses, and establish compliance paths.
3. Design & Coordination. We produce drawings, schedules, and sequences, coordinating with architectural, structural, and electrical trades.
4. Review & Approvals. We support permit submittals with Title 24 documentation and respond to plan check comments.
5. Construction Support. We provide RFIs assistance, substitution review, and field adjustments guidance.
6. Start‑Up & Turnover. We coordinate with TAB and commissioning teams to verify performance and deliver closeout documents.

Compliance and Standards

Our ventilation designs align with California Mechanical Code, California Energy Code (Title 24), ASHRAE 62.1 for commercial IAQ, and local authority requirements. We also consider acoustics, filtration performance, and energy recovery to minimize operating costs while protecting occupant health.

Designed for Results

We engineer for measurable outcomes: stable indoor pressures, verified outdoor air delivery, quieter operation, and reduced energy intensity. The result is a system that supports productivity, guest comfort, and brand reputation—while simplifying maintenance for your facilities team.

Industries We Serve in Glendale
