Mechanical Engineering Services
Mechanical systems have many important roles in buildings, and indoor spaces would quickly become uninhabitable without them. However, mechanical systems are also some of the most expensive installations in modern buildings. They also use bulky equipment, taking up more space than electrical and communication systems. To optimize the space requirements and costs of mechanical equipment, a professional design from a MEP engineering firm is recommended.

Overview of Mechanical Engineering Services We Offer
The first step in any load calculation is to establish the design criteria for the project which involves consideration of the building concept, construction materials, occupancy patterns, density, office equipment, lighting levels, comfort ranges, ventilations, and space-specific needs.
Thermal load calculation is the bedrock of efficient HVAC design. Essentially, it determines the amount of heating or cooling a building needs to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. Skipping this critical step can lead to systems that are either underpowered or overpowered, resulting in inefficiency, higher costs, and discomfort. At NY Engineers, thermal load calculation is always the first step we take when designing HVAC systems for our clients, ensuring tailored solutions that meet specific needs.
We design various types of HVAC systems; a sample system is provided below.
Variable Refrigerant Flow in HVAC
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems provide precise temperature control by adjusting the amount of refrigerant sent to each indoor unit. This leads to increased energy efficiency and comfort in multi-zone spaces.
Our HVAC engineers carry out a detailed calculation of heating and cooling loads, to design and specify a VRF system that suits your needs. We also offer VRF design for new construction projects, helping you achieve top HVAC performance from the first day of building operation.
What is an RTU HVAC Unit?
A Rooftop Unit (RTU) HVAC system is a self-contained, weatherproof unit installed on rooftops. It’s crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and climate control. Correct RTU design ensures energy efficiency and reliable performance, reducing maintenance costs and extending the unit's lifespan.
Correct ventilation system design is crucial for maintaining healthy indoor air quality and ensuring the comfort and well-being of building occupants. A well-designed ventilation system regulates airflow, removes contaminants, and controls humidity levels, which is essential for creating a productive and safe environment. Inadequate ventilation can lead to poor air quality, health issues, and decreased productivity. Therefore, it's imperative to invest in a meticulously designed ventilation system to enhance the overall quality of life within any building.
Indoor air quality is defined as the nature of air that affects the health and well-being of occupants. According to ASHRAE Standard 62-2001 acceptable indoor air quality is "air in which there are no known contaminants at harmful concentrations as determined by cognizant authorities and with which a substantial majority (80% or more) of the people exposed do not express dissatisfaction." Good indoor air quality involves adequate oxygen, low contaminant levels, and the absence of irritating odours.
Accurate HVAC duct sizing is crucial for efficient airflow and optimal system performance. Incorrect sizing can lead to energy loss, increased utility bills, and uneven heating or cooling. Whether it’s a residential or commercial property, appropriate duct sizing ensures maximum comfort and efficiency. Correct duct sizing and design are critical for efficient HVAC operation. Our MEP engineers provide tailored solutions to optimize airflow and system performance.
In air conditioning systems the duct is considered a static component of the installation through which air flows within the building, connecting all parts of the system. Ducts can be best described as arteries of the central air-conditioning system. These play an important role in keeping the whole HVAC system fit and achieving comfortable conditions throughout its life span.
A passive house is an energy-efficient building standard that minimizes energy usage. Our MEP engineers design passive houses to provide superior indoor air quality and comfort while significantly reducing energy costs.
The basic principle of Passive House construction is designing building envelopes with a high level of thermal performance and air-tightness. This minimizes or eliminates the need for heating and cooling systems, reducing the building's energy footprint. Mechanical ventilation is complemented with heat recovery to reduce heating and cooling requirements even more. Air quality is also improved because all outdoor air is handled by the mechanical ventilation system, dehumidified and purified as needed.
Innovative Net Zero Home Design
Net-zero homes produce as much energy as they consume. Our MEP engineers design these homes to be highly energy-efficient and sustainable, providing long-term cost savings and environmental benefits.
Each of our net zero homes is designed with energy efficiency in mind. We just don't create houses with solar panels; we aim for total energy conservation. Our engineers use advanced building science concepts to develop an airtight, super-insulated home. We follow all building and energy codes and comply with the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
