NOVTRIQ delivers comprehensive HVAC engineering services that integrate heating, ventilation, and cooling systems with building fabric and operational requirements. We design systems capable of maintaining precise temperature and humidity control whilst managing energy consumption and lifecycle costs. Our approach covers plant specification, ductwork layout, terminal device selection, and integration with building management systems to achieve both regulatory compliance and client objectives.
Whether designing new thermal infrastructure or retrofitting existing installations, we employ computational fluid dynamics modelling and psychrometric analysis to verify performance against design criteria. Systems are specified for peak demand scenarios whilst optimised for typical operational conditions, ensuring facilities remain comfortable and efficient throughout their operational lives.
Proper ventilation is fundamental to occupant health, productivity, and regulatory compliance. NOVTRIQ designs ventilation systems that deliver outdoor air requirements whilst managing contaminant removal, odour control, and moisture management. This includes natural ventilation strategies where appropriate, mechanical extract systems, and hybrid approaches that minimise energy whilst maximising performance. For healthcare facilities, we ensure isolation room capability, pressure differential control, and air filtration standards that support infection prevention protocols.
Our specifications incorporate current standards for indoor air quality, CO2 monitoring, and demand-controlled ventilation strategies that respond to actual occupancy. Heat recovery systems are integrated where feasible to maintain comfort whilst reducing heating loads and operational costs.
System design excellence requires thorough commissioning to verify installed performance meets design intent. NOVTRIQ oversees all stages of mechanical commissioning including system balance, sensor calibration, control loop tuning, and operational staff training. We conduct performance testing under defined conditions to confirm thermal capacity, airflow distribution, pressure stability, and control responsiveness before handover to operations teams.
HVAC systems often represent the largest energy end-use in buildings. NOVTRIQ applies integrated design strategies to minimise thermal demands through fabric efficiency, passive design elements, and optimised operating philosophy. Variable speed drives, demand-controlled ventilation, and building thermal mass utilisation reduce energy whilst maintaining comfort standards. Systems are designed for compatibility with renewable heat sources and heat recovery technologies, supporting decarbonisation objectives across UK and European facilities.
Design and installation fully aligned with Building Regulations Technical Guidance (Part L on energy efficiency, Part F on ventilation). Systems comply with BS 5250 (Control of condensation in buildings), BS 1250 (Code of Practice for installation of boilers), and BS 9251 (Fire safety systems). Healthcare facilities designed in accordance with HTM 03-01 (Specialised ventilation for healthcare) and guidance on infection prevention.
EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requirements for system efficiency, including seasonal performance factor benchmarks. Systems comply with EN 12098 series (Building automation) and EN 15232 standards for energy performance in building automation control systems. Acoustic performance to EN ISO 3744 standards for equipment noise levels.
ISO 7730 principles applied for thermal comfort assessment and verification. ISO 14644 standards referenced for cleanroom and contamination control applications. ASHRAE standards adopted where European standards do not provide specific guidance, ensuring global best practice alignment.
HVAC and mechanical systems are critical investments that impact occupant comfort, energy costs, and regulatory compliance for years to come. We'll design systems that deliver performance excellence whilst supporting your sustainability and operational objectives.
