# VAE are HVAC specialists

For our specialist engineers, this means always looking for smarter, simpler and more cost-effective ways to design HVAC systems for our clients. We design our systems from architectural drawings or work from existing designs.

Either way, the areas of focus on each project include: capital cost, running cost, and ensuring the design meets the client's brief and adheres to all relevant standards. Additionally, we ensure that the system will generate the data we require to monitor and measure performance. We also re-engineer existing designs to improve safety for long term servicing by technicians. Working alongside our engineering team is the VAE drafting team. 

Our expert drafters convert the designs into co-ordinated construction blueprints that allow us to construct the systems with minimal time-consuming clashes within the building structure. Using industry standard Revit and Navisworks design packages, information can be transferred seamlessly to architects, structural engineers and other trades to coordinate the overall structure before problems occur on site.

Design

Design

With over 30 engineers and draftspeople on staff, we can design systems from scratch or work with a specialist consultant to provide our clients with cost-effective solutions.

Drafting

Drafting

VAE drafts in Revit and uses Navisworks for clash detection. This means that we use the same software as the architect and structural engineer on the project allowing for a more streamlined, efficient process.

BIM Drafting

BIM Drafting

VAE has in-house capabilities to draft in Revit for electrical contractors, hydraulic plumbing contractors and fire contractors.
