Engineering systems design
Designing engineering systems is about precisely matching comfort with practicality: heating warms evenly, water arrives with the required pressure and temperature, sewerage works without odors, and automation controls everything predictably. By engineering systems we mean: ventilation, heating, DHW/CWS, sewerage and automation — and we design it as a single organism.
What we design
- Heating: heat-loss calculations, radiator/convector/underfloor heating selection, connection schemes.
- Domestic hot water / cold water supply (DHW/CWS): routes, manifolds, pumps, recirculation, water-hammer protection.
- Sewerage: slopes, stacks, venting, sound insulation, connection details.
- Automation: mode logic, sensors, actuators, “day/night/away” scenarios.
- Coordination with ventilation: so temperature and humidity regimes do not conflict.
- Interior integration: niches, cabinets, technical zones, access and service without destroying finishing.
Why it matters to do it “as a whole”
One logic
For example, underfloor heating and ventilation with heating should complement each other, not overheat the space.
Managed water
DHW recirculation, balancing and correct valves deliver “hot water right away” without surprises.
No odors
Sewerage is not only slope: stack venting, traps, check valves and details — everything matters.
Project scope and documents
- Calculations (heat losses, equipment selection, key hydraulic sections).
- Plans of routes, stacks, manifolds and details with dimensions and elevations.
- Connection schemes, specifications, material and valve schedules.
- Installation recommendations: critical places that must not be “simplified” on site.
- Automation logic: what controls what, in which modes, and which sensors are required.
- Optional — author’s supervision and adjustments based on the real construction.
What affects cost and schedule
- Area and layout complexity, number of wet zones and bathrooms.
- Noise/hidden-installation requirements, ceiling height constraints.
- Availability of a technical room and possibility of proper service access.
- Selected equipment and control scenarios (simple vs. advanced).
- Project stage: the earlier we join, the fewer expensive reworks.
- Standard vs. urgent mode — we can adapt, but planning ahead is better.
