I need a complete HVAC design for a retail space under 1,000 sq ft. Comfort is the priority, but indoor air quality and day-to-day energy savings must be accounted for from the first load calculation to final equipment selection. Scope • Heat-gain / heat-loss calculations sized to the exact floor area and retail usage profile. • Equipment schedule that balances temperature control, MERV-rated filtration and high SEER/EER performance. • Ductwork or mini-split layout (whichever proves most efficient) with diffuser locations that avoid dead-zones around shelving and displays. • Simple control strategy—programmable thermostat, demand-controlled ventilation or other cost-effective option you recommend. • Drawings and schedules delivered in PDF; native AutoCAD, Revit, or similar files welcome if you already work in those tools. Acceptance Criteria 1. Design maintains 72 °F ±2 °F throughout sales floor with <2 °F stratification at peak load. 2. Meets ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation rates and demonstrates compliance with the local energy code. 3. All equipment and duct sizes clearly labeled and referenced so my installer can quote without extra field redesign. A concise report or design narrative explaining your calculations and assumptions will round out the package. Let me know your usual turnaround time and which software you prefer for load analysis (Manual J, HAP, TRACE 700, etc.).

I can deliver a complete, comfort-driven HVAC design for your retail space that’s properly engineered from the first load calculation through to installer-ready drawings. I focus on getting the fundamentals right—accurate heat-gain and heat-loss analysis based on the actual retail use, occupancy patterns, lighting, and equipment—so the system performs consistently without oversizing or wasted energy. From there, I’ll select equipment that balances thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and operating efficiency, including appropriate filtration and high-performance SEER/EER ratings. I’ll develop either a ducted or mini-split layout (whichever is most efficient for the space) with diffuser placement carefully coordinated to avoid hot or cold spots around shelving, displays, and customer circulation zones. Controls will be kept simple and practical, using cost-effective strategies like programmable thermostats or demand-controlled ventilation where they genuinely add value. All drawings and schedules will be clearly labeled and easy for a contractor to price without redesign, and I’ll include a short design narrative explaining assumptions, calculations, and code compliance. I work comfortably in AutoCAD and Revit and typically run load calculations using industry-standard tools such as Manual J or HAP, depending on project needs. I’m happy to confirm turnaround time once I review the floor area, location, and any local code requirements.
