Commercial Laboratory Environmental Controls in Long Beach

Purpose‑Built Controls for Long Beach Laboratories

Long Beach’s innovation economy spans biotech, university research, aerospace, medical device, compounding pharmacies, cannabis testing, food science, and advanced materials. We design and implement environmental controls that match each application’s risk profile and workflow—keeping people safe, protecting product integrity, and ensuring reproducible results.

• Cleanroom HVAC for ISO 14644 Classes 5–8 with HEPA/ULPA filtration and pressure cascades
• USP 797/800 sterile compounding rooms with negative/positive zones and segregated ante spaces
• Fume hood exhaust, make‑up air, and high ACH ventilation with sensible energy recovery
• Precise temperature/RH control for stability chambers, metrology, and analytical labs
• Room pressure monitoring (RPM), differential pressure sensors, and alarming
• VRF/ducted systems paired with DOAS for decoupled latent/sensible control
• Air handlers, terminal boxes, and FFUs selected via AC PRO for fast local availability
• Integration with BAS/BMS, trending, and secure remote visibility
• Commissioning, TAB, and validation support to help you meet protocol requirements
• Planned maintenance, calibration checks, and rapid service response

Deep Engineering, Proven Training

We are a fourth‑generation family of engineers with 80+ years in engineering. Our team has trained at the factories of Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). That foundation, paired with real‑world lab experience, lets us solve complex airflow challenges, de‑risk critical environments, and deliver systems that perform from day one.

We specialize in large and technically demanding projects—multi‑suite cleanrooms, mixed‑mode facilities combining clean manufacturing with wet labs, and retrofit constraints in occupied buildings. When tolerance windows are tight and uptime is non‑negotiable, #1 AC Guys brings the rigor your process demands.

Compliance‑Minded by Design

Our designs are crafted to help your team meet applicable standards and guidelines, including ISO 14644, USP 797/800, ASHRAE 62.1 and relevant laboratory best practices, NFPA 45/90A, and California Title 24 energy code. We provide documented air change rates, pressure differentials, filtration specifications, and control sequences aligned with your SOPs and validation plan.

• Defined pressure cascades with visual and digital indication
• Filtered supply with correct MERV/HEPA grades and leak testing provisions
• Stable RH control via dedicated latent capacity and tight PID loops
• Low turbulence layouts, proper diffuser selection, and capture efficiency at hoods
• Sequences for setback, purge, alarm escalation, and safe shutdown

We also support IQ/OQ documentation needs with submittals, test reports, and trend logs that make audits straightforward.

AC PRO Advantage: Availability, Compatibility, Speed

For many projects we source air handlers, DOAS, ERVs, filtration assemblies, controls, and accessories through AC PRO. Local inventory shortens lead times, simplifies part standardization, and streamlines maintenance. We coordinate selections so components integrate cleanly with your BAS, sensors, and validation tooling—minimizing downtime and change orders.

Built for the Coast: Durability and Resilience

Long Beach’s marine environment demands corrosion‑aware design. We specify protective coatings, stainless hardware, non‑ferrous materials, and adequate clearances to resist salt air and chemical exposure. Seismic anchorage and vibration isolation are engineered to California Building Code requirements to protect people and equipment—without compromising airflow performance.

Our Process

• Discovery & Criteria: Stakeholder interviews, risk assessment, room data sheets, and performance targets
• Design & Submittals: Load calcs, airflow diagrams, pressure maps, control sequences, and equipment schedules
• Coordination: BIM/coordination with architects, GCs, and safety teams to preserve cleanroom geometry and serviceability
• Build & Integration: Clean install practices, contamination control, and precise balancing with validation in mind
• Commissioning & TAB: Functional testing, trending, alarms, and documentation to support IQ/OQ
• Training & Handover: On‑site walkthroughs, SOP alignment, and clear maintenance plans
• Service & Upgrades: Calibration, filter lifecycle planning, and continuous improvement for energy and uptime

Measured Outcomes That Matter

• Stable temperature/RH and pressure diffs that hold through seasonal swings
• Lower lifecycle costs via right‑sized equipment and energy recovery
• Cleaner data with reliable ACH and verified filtration integrity
• Faster audits with organized logs, reports, and submittal packages
• Scalable designs that accommodate future tools, hoods, and rooms

Local, Fast, and Accountable

We are based in Los Angeles and serve Long Beach and nearby areas across Los Angeles County, plus Orange County, Ventura County, and Western Riverside County. Our proximity means responsive site visits, rapid parts access via AC PRO, and a team that knows local inspectors, utilities, and coastal conditions.
