What is HVAC Design & Consultancy?
Proper HVAC design is the difference between a system that performs efficiently for decades and one that struggles from day one. In Dubai, where cooling accounts for 60–70% of a building's energy consumption, design decisions made on paper directly impact operating costs, occupant comfort, and equipment lifespan.
AGECprovides complete HVAC design services: heat load calculations using industry-standard software, system type selection, equipment specification, duct and piping layout, controls design, and construction documentation. We work on projects ranging from single villas to multi-floor commercial fit-outs, delivering design packages that meet consultant requirements and municipality approval standards.
Our design approach starts with accurate load calculations — not rules of thumb. We model each space considering orientation, glazing type and area, wall construction, occupancy schedules, lighting loads, and equipment heat gains. This produces equipment selections that match the actual load, avoiding the chronic oversizing that plagues the Dubai market and leads to short-cycling, humidity problems, and wasted capital expenditure.
When you need this service
- New construction projects requiring HVAC design from scratch
- Commercial fit-out or tenant improvement projects needing system design within an existing building
- Renovation or system upgrade projects where the existing design is outdated or inadequate
- Value engineering — reviewing an existing HVAC design to reduce cost without sacrificing performance
- Second opinion on equipment sizing or system selection from another contractor
What AGEC provides
Heat Load Calculations
Room-by-room and block load calculations using HAP, Trace, or equivalent software. Accounts for Dubai's peak ambient conditions, solar exposure, and internal gains.
Duct & Piping Design
Duct sizing by equal friction or static regain method, piping layout with hydraulic calculations, and routing coordination with other MEP disciplines.
Equipment Specification
Manufacturer-neutral equipment schedules with performance criteria, electrical data, physical dimensions, and acceptable alternatives.
Construction Documentation
AutoCAD and Revit deliverables including floor plans, sections, details, equipment schedules, and specifications for tender and construction.
MEP Coordination
Coordination with electrical, plumbing, and fire protection disciplines to resolve routing conflicts and ensure adequate ceiling space and shaft sizing.
Code Compliance Review
Verification against ASHRAE standards, Dubai Municipality requirements, and Green Building regulations including Al Sa'fat compliance where required.
