System Design
Air conditioning system design is a complex technical process. With decades of experience among the team, SCSM have the skills to design a cost-effective, efficient and unobtrusive bespoke air conditioning system for you.
When it comes to Air Con, Size Matters.
SCSM’s design process starts with determining the size of the area that needs to be cooled. This gives the team a good estimate of the overall cooling capacity required. A full survey of your site lets the engineers to account for other factors like windows, lighting, IT systems and occupancy levels that can place additional demands on cooling systems.
The final calculation identifies the total thermal capacity required for your installation, and helps SCSM find the most suitable system for the space.
Choosing the Right Air Con System
There are quite a few different types of air conditioning unit. The most suitable type for you largely depends on the size of your space. Wall-mounted solutions, typically found in smaller offices or server rooms, are cost-effective and simpler to install and maintain.
Larger commercial installations often use VRF systems made up of several indoor and outdoor units. With decades of experience designing commercial systems, the team at SCSM are happy to get involved at any stage of the design process, from initial consultation and specification right the way through to final feedback on architectural plans.
Energy Efficiency is Vital
A cost-effective air conditioning system is one that continues to save you money years after installation. SCSM’s intelligent design process has energy efficiency at its heart; reducing carbon emissions and running costs is key for any modern business.
Designing a system for maximum efficiency also means choosing an optimal position for units and discreetly routing ducting. SCSM work with you to find the most unobtrusive, affordable and efficient system for your space.
Mapping the Route between Systems
Minimising the distance between air con units as much as possible is critical in maintaining system-wide performance. Longer ducting routes are more expensive to install and introduce more opportunities for leaks and drops in performance through heat conduction.
Taking extra time to plan the best route between your units and vents is one of the places where SCSM add a huge amount of value to your air con systems. Thorough planning of ducting and vent placement allows your building to make the most efficient use of its air conditioning and to make installation as simple as possible.
