Commercial Stadium Cooling & Heating in Santa Monica

Engineering‑led design for stadium cooling & heating

Every stadium HVAC project in Santa Monica begins with rigorous engineering. #1 AC Guys performs venue‑specific load analysis, ventilation math, and airflow planning to keep bowl seating, concourses, suites, locker rooms, kitchens, and broadcast spaces stable—even as occupancy swings minute to minute. We prioritize comfort, acoustics, and energy performance to deliver reliable commercial stadium cooling & heating that meets the moment on game day and every day.

• High‑efficiency chilled water plants and hydronic distribution sized for event peaks
• Condensing boilers and/or heat‑pump heating strategies for lower emissions
• Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) with energy recovery for code‑compliant ventilation
• VRF zoning for suites, clubs, press, and back‑of‑house areas
• VAV/VFD controls for dynamic air delivery and reduced noise
• N+1 redundancy for mission‑critical equipment and pumps
• BMS integration for monitoring, trending, and smart scheduling

We design for operational simplicity—clear sequences of operation, accessible service points, and controls that help your facilities team run the building efficiently and confidently.

Healthy air that elevates the fan experience

Our mission is healthy air for a healthy life—scaled to large venues. We align with leading ventilation practices to help protect indoor air quality (IAQ) and occupant comfort during high‑density events. Proper filtration, outdoor air delivery, and humidity control work together to support comfort, clarity, and safety for fans, athletes, performers, and staff.

• MERV 13+ filtration where applicable, with right‑sized fan energy to maintain airflow
• Outdoor air and demand‑controlled ventilation referencing ASHRAE 62.1 principles
• Humidity management for coastal swings to help with comfort and material longevity
• UV‑C options in select air‑handling sections to support coil cleanliness
• Pressure management to contain odors and segregate zones

The result: consistent temperatures, better acoustics, and clean, fresh air that keeps people engaged from the opening whistle to the final encore.

Built for Santa Monica’s coast

Marine air, salt, and fog accelerate wear. We specify coastal‑ready equipment and details that extend service life and protect performance near the ocean.

• Corrosion‑resistant coatings and materials on coils, cabinets, and fasteners
• Thoughtful placement and wind screening for rooftop and outdoor gear
• Drainage, sealing, and insulation details that resist salt and moisture
• Service clearances that speed maintenance and reduce downtime

These measures help keep your commercial stadium HVAC reliable season after season, reducing unexpected outages and protecting your capital investment.

Design‑build or plan‑spec delivery

#1 AC Guys supports your project from concept through closeout, collaborating with ownership, architects, and GCs to deliver on schedule and on budget.

• Concept engineering, budgeting, and value analysis
• Submittals, coordination, and BIM‑friendly documentation
• Permitting assistance and Title 24 compliance pathways
• Factory start‑ups and functional performance testing
• Commissioning support and TAB coordination
• Clear O&M, training, and turnover for facility teams

Whether it’s a new build, phased retrofit, or an expansion to add suites and amenities, we stage the work to minimize disruption and protect revenue dates.

Service, retrofit, and 24/7 response

Stadiums cannot miss events. Our commercial service teams keep systems tuned and ready, with preventive maintenance programs designed around your calendar.

• Seasonal tune‑ups for chillers, boilers/heat pumps, AHUs, and controls
• Water treatment guidance for hydronic systems
• Tubing/coil care, cleaning, and corrosion checks
• Vibration and thermal inspections to catch issues early
• Refrigerant management and detailed service reporting
• Emergency response and rapid parts sourcing to shorten downtime

Before major events, we offer game‑day readiness checks to verify temperatures, ventilation, and alarms—so your venue opens on time and runs smoothly.
