Iowa City is home to the University of Iowa and University of Iowa Hospitals, making it one of the Midwest's most active research, laboratory, and medical facility engineering markets.

What we design

Heating, cooling, ventilation, and controls — one coordinated mechanical design for Iowa City commercial office & retail. Torch delivers load calcs, equipment schedules, duct layouts, and ASHRAE 90.1 and the IECC documentation that the Iowa City building department reviewers approve, backed by Apex Grid Engineering's licensed engineers.

  • Heating and cooling load calculations for Iowa City commercial office & retail using harsh winters and humid summers design conditions — envelope, occupancy, and ventilation loads modeled so equipment is sized right, not oversized by habit.
  • What slows Iowa City, IA HVAC permits: ventilation math that doesn't add up and equipment schedules missing electrical data. We cross-check both before submitting to the Iowa City building department.
  • Energy modeling and Title-24-style documentation for Iowa City commercial office & retail: our compliance forms match the drawings, so the Iowa City building department energy review doesn't generate a second correction cycle.
  • Ventilation per ASHRAE 62.1 for Iowa City commercial office & retail: outdoor-air rates by occupancy, dedicated outdoor-air systems where they pay off, and exhaust make-up that keeps the building balanced.
  • Iowa City, IA contractors call Torch when the schedule is tight: fast mechanical quotes, coordinated drawings, and a PE stamp the Iowa City building department accepts.
