HVAC Engineering in Tacoma, WA

Tacoma is a working port city — the Port of Tacoma is among the largest container ports in North America — with a growing downtown, the Joint Base Lewis-McChord military community next door, and a manufacturing and maritime industrial base on the tideflats.

What we design

Heating, cooling, ventilation, and controls — one coordinated mechanical design for Tacoma port and maritime industrial. Torch delivers load calcs, equipment schedules, duct layouts, and ASHRAE 90.1 documentation that the Tacoma building department reviewers approve, backed by Apex Grid Engineering's licensed engineers.

• Equipment selection for Tacoma's a marine climate with wet winters: high-efficiency rooftops, VRF, or chilled-water plants matched to the load profile of port and maritime industrial — with life-cycle cost logic the owner can defend.
• the Tacoma building department mechanical review in Tacoma, WA zeroes in on load calcs, ventilation rates, and equipment schedules — our Tacoma submittals carry all three with matching numbers across every sheet.
• Ventilation per ASHRAE 62.1 for Tacoma port and maritime industrial: outdoor-air rates by occupancy, dedicated outdoor-air systems where they pay off, and exhaust make-up that keeps the building balanced.
• Heating and cooling load calculations for Tacoma port and maritime industrial using a marine climate with wet winters design conditions — envelope, occupancy, and ventilation loads modeled so equipment is sized right, not oversized by habit.
• Ductwork designed for low static and quiet operation in Tacoma port and maritime industrial: trunk-and-branch layouts, proper aspect ratios, and sealing specs that meet ASHRAE 90.1 leakage limits.
