HVAC Design Engineers Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited's HVAC design engineers specify heating, cooling, ventilation and controls as a combination fuelled system, with absorption chilling where low-carbon cooling is required.
HVAC Design Engineers Belfast reflects BSH Limited's engineering-led design of heating, cooling and ventilation systems. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems as required.
HVAC design engineering is the discipline of specifying the plant, pipework, air handling and controls that together manage a building's environment. BSH's engineers design the system as a whole, with controls integrated from the outset, rather than leaving controls to be added after installation.
Where cooling is part of the design, BSH's engineers can specify Yazaki absorption chilling — chillers that primarily utilise heat as their main power source, unlike most air conditioning equipment which use electric — a key provider of low-carbon chilling for buildings or processes.
Designing combination fuelled HVAC systems
BSH's engineers design combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems. The HVAC design covers the plant selection, hydraulic arrangement, air handling, and the control strategy that sequences equipment against real loads.
Controls designed in, not bolted on
Because BSH designs the whole combination fuelled system, controls are specified alongside the plant. The control strategy sequences boilers, chillers, CHP and ventilation against loads, outdoor conditions and tariffs, so the HVAC system coordinates rather than competes with itself.
Low-carbon cooling in the design
Where low-carbon cooling is a design goal, BSH specifies Yazaki absorption chilling, which primarily utilises heat as its main power source. BSH has received awards for creative designs featuring absorption chilling solutions demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions.

How BSH can help
Problem
When HVAC is designed component by component rather than as a system, the plant does not coordinate — heating and cooling run against each other, ventilation is sized without reference to loads, and low-carbon options that need integration, such as heat-driven absorption cooling, are ruled out from the start. Controls are then retrofitted to paper over the gaps.
Reaction
A poorly integrated HVAC design raises running costs, wastes heat and makes a building hard to manage. Building owners and consultants need design engineers who specify the whole system — plant, hydraulics, air handling and controls — as one coordinated design.
Solution
BSH's HVAC design engineers specify heating, cooling, ventilation and controls as a combination fuelled system, with absorption chilling where low-carbon cooling is required. Because the right design depends on your building and loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your HVAC design project.
