HVAC Design for
Secondary Suites
Secondary Suites are commonly found within the basement level of a home. They provide self-contained living separate from the primary residence, they include independent food preparation areas and sanitation facilities. OBC allows for shared HVAC Equipment between units (with some provisions)
HVAC Design for Alteration, Addition or repair
The OBC requires that all homes intended for year round occupation be conditioned. Heat Loss Calculations are required for renovation by most Municipalities to verify existing HVAC Equipment size is sufficient for the new design, and distribution to un-serviced areas.
HVAC Design for
Extensive Renovation
An Extensive Renovation is typically referred to as a gut renovation. The home is often demolished to its studs. The scope of the renovation requires the replacement of most existing building systems, layouts and configurations. HVAC Systems will not be reused in the new design.
