Commercial High-Rise HVAC Systems in Long Beach

Engineering Built for Towers

High‑rise buildings demand precise load calculations, vertical distribution planning, and smart controls that keep occupants comfortable without wasting energy. Our team brings 80+ years of engineering experience to Long Beach commercial properties—downtown towers, mixed‑use high‑rises, hotels, healthcare offices, and waterfront developments—delivering resilient systems that thrive in real‑world conditions.

Design‑Build & Pre‑Construction

We streamline delivery with a design‑build approach that compresses timelines and protects budgets. Expect detailed load calculations, equipment selection, and constructability reviews, plus BIM coordination for shafts, risers, and equipment rooms. We plan crane picks, staging, and tenant phasing to minimize disruption, and coordinate permits, Title 24 compliance, CALGreen, and local AQMD requirements for Long Beach and Los Angeles County jurisdictions.

Systems We Design, Install, and Service

• VRF/VRV heat recovery and heat pump systems for flexible zoning and tenant comfort
• Chillers and cooling towers for centralized plant efficiency and robust capacity
• DOAS with energy recovery for superior ventilation and indoor air quality
• High‑efficiency heat pumps and condensing boilers for balanced heating needs
• Filtration and IAQ upgrades (MERV, HEPA, UV‑C, and bipolar ionization where appropriate)
• Demand control ventilation, VAV/VVT, and hydronic distribution

Advanced Controls & BMS Integration

We integrate with BACnet and Modbus platforms for seamless BMS connectivity, trending, alarming, and remote diagnostics. Our controls strategies align with Title 24, including economizer logic, optimal start/stop, reset schedules, and fault detection where applicable—turning data into actionable insights that reduce operating cost and downtime.

Commissioning, TAB, and Performance Assurance

Every high‑rise project includes rigorous test‑and‑balance, sequence verification, and functional performance testing. We fine‑tune setpoints for comfort, acoustics, and energy use, then document results so owners and facility managers can maintain peak performance throughout the building lifecycle.

Indoor Air Quality—Healthy Air for Healthy Lives

Our core mission is healthy air. We design ventilation rates to modern standards, select filtration for your risk profile, and address humidity, pressurization, and fresh air delivery to improve occupant wellness and reduce complaints. Cleaner air supports tenant retention, productivity, and brand reputation—especially in Class A environments.

Retrofits and Occupied Upgrades

From end‑of‑life equipment change‑outs to deep energy retrofits, we deliver phased solutions that maintain uptime. We target quick wins (controls, water treatment, VFDs) and long‑term ROI (plant modernization, heat recovery, and envelope/ventilation improvements), all while reducing noise, vibration, and disruptions for tenants.

Preventive Maintenance & 24/7 Emergency Response

Protect your investment with proactive maintenance plans built for high‑rise demands: predictive inspections, coil cleaning, water treatment, refrigerant management, and seasonal startups. Our 24/7 team is on call for critical spaces and after‑hours support—backed by stocked service vehicles and rapid parts sourcing to keep systems online.

Safety, Compliance, and Documentation

We maintain a rigorous safety culture: site‑specific plans, lockout/tagout, confined space protocols, and lift/crane coordination. Documentation includes as‑builts, O&M manuals, warranties, commissioning reports, and training for facility staff. We track code updates and manufacturer bulletins so your system remains compliant and efficient.

Factory‑Trained Expertise

Our engineers and technicians are factory‑trained by leading global manufacturers, including Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). That depth helps us diagnose faster, commission correctly, and optimize performance across diverse platforms without guesswork.

Energy, Sustainability, and Incentives

We help owners cut utility spend and carbon with heat recovery, high‑efficiency equipment, demand control strategies, and water‑side optimization. Ask about utility rebates, tax incentives, and measurement and verification plans to quantify savings and support ESG reporting.

Local Focus: Long Beach and Beyond

We proudly serve Long Beach—from Downtown and East Village to Bixby Knolls, Belmont Shore, Naples, and the Port area—plus Los Angeles County and nearby Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Our regional footprint means faster response times and deep familiarity with local codes, inspectors, and site logistics.
