Common questions
Scope notes
Is ventilation included?
Yes. Air quality and thermal comfort are included within one coordinated mechanical scope.
Can we assess existing plant before replacement?
Yes. Existing records and measured performance are reviewed first, then replacement is defined by load, condition and access.
