HVAC projects are focused on the creation of conditions of temperature and relative humidity to improve air quality and provide comfort to people. The air conditioning is vital to the comfort of closed buildings, whether industrial, residential, hospital, supermarkets, shopping malls, banks, etc.
HVAC is characterized by the heating, ventilating and air conditioning, and by natural or passive air conditioning systems. The latter consists in the use of equipments that generate the conditions of comfort without resorting to any kind of mechanical compression or the use of non-renewable energy: through geothermal systems, solar energy, natural water flows, and so on.
Ventilation projects consist on the extraction, injection, pressurizing, renewal of air, air filtering, fire smoke control, concentration of pollutants control, protection of specific zones from pathogens that could penetrate airways and collaboration on the thermal conditioning of the building.
