Starting out on the quest for comfort is a difficult trail to maneuver. Whether you start this journey as a homeowner, builder , architect, or hvac professional, the path is often poorly marked and getting lost is pretty common. Understanding the conditioning needs of each project is the first step to proper design. What works in one home is not necessarily the best choice for another project. Knowing what is required for comfort and how each home's environment differs is one of the most critical skills you could perfect. Understanding these demands will allow an intelligent and informed conversation on each projects HVAC requirements and help avoid the pitfalls that plague most installations.
