HVAC Engineering in Portland, ME

Portland is Maine's largest city and a major maritime, healthcare, and mixed-use redevelopment market, with historic building renovation, hospital expansion, and waterfront commercial development in a cold-climate coastal engineering environment.

What we design

Portland's long, severe winters punishes undersized and oversized HVAC alike. Our engineers run block and zone loads for medical office buildings, select equipment for part-load efficiency, design quiet low-static ductwork, and write controls sequences the building operator can actually use.

• Equipment selection for Portland's long, severe winters: high-efficiency rooftops, VRF, or chilled-water plants matched to the load profile of hospital & surgical center expansion — with life-cycle cost logic the owner can defend.
• the IECC compliance built into the Portland design from day one — envelope coordination, economizer logic, and demand-controlled ventilation documented in the COMcheck/energy model.
• Ductwork designed for low static and quiet operation in Portland hospital & surgical center expansion: trunk-and-branch layouts, proper aspect ratios, and sealing specs that meet the IECC leakage limits.
• Ventilation per ASHRAE 62.1 for Portland hospital & surgical center expansion: outdoor-air rates by occupancy, dedicated outdoor-air systems where they pay off, and exhaust make-up that keeps the building balanced.
• Right-sized equipment starts with real load calcs: our Portland medical office buildings designs use block and zone loads per ASHRAE fundamentals, tuned for Maine's long, severe winters.
