HVAC and mechanical engineering design in New Jersey & NYC

From rooftop condensing-unit replacements to full mechanical systems in new buildings, Concord designs HVAC and mechanical work in New Jersey and New York, on sealed drawings for the building permit.

Updated

What we design

  • HVAC systems for commercial, residential and mixed-use buildings
  • High-efficiency boilers (hot water and steam) and chimney vents
  • Chillers (air and water cooled), rooftop units, split systems and VRF
  • Thermal ice storage and dedicated outdoor-air systems (DOAS)
  • Automatic temperature controls (VAV, heat recovery, DX, VRF)
  • Outside-air pre-treatment and dehumidification; water-source heat pumps
  • Piping, exhaust and laboratory fume-hood airflow monitoring

What’s included

  • Heating and cooling load calculations and equipment selection
  • Ductwork, piping and ventilation layouts
  • Energy-code documentation that goes with the drawings
  • Permit drawings and responses to plan-review comments

Typical project types

  • New buildings and apartment conversions
  • Tenant fit-outs, including dental offices
  • Rooftop condensing-unit replacements
  • Boiler, water-heater and split air-conditioning work in apartments

Codes we design to, New York and New Jersey

  • In New York City, mechanical work is filed with the Department of Buildings and designed to the NYC Mechanical Code, with gas-fired equipment following the NYC Fuel Gas Code.
  • Energy design follows the NYC Energy Conservation Code in force when the work is filed.
  • In New Jersey, mechanical and fuel gas work is designed to the codes adopted in the Uniform Construction Code and reviewed by the local construction office.
  • New Jersey energy compliance follows the UCC energy subcode, which uses ASHRAE 90.1 for commercial buildings and the IECC for low-rise residential buildings.

What HVAC and mechanical engineering does Concord provide?

Concord Consulting Engineering PC designs heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems for new buildings, alterations and tenant fit-outs in New York and New Jersey, from rooftop-unit replacements to full mechanical systems. Work includes load calculations, equipment selection, duct and piping layouts and energy-code documentation, on sealed drawings.

Common questions

Can Concord replace a boiler plant or convert steam heat to hot water?

Yes. For a county medical services building in Morristown, New Jersey, Concord designed a boiler plant replacement with two high-efficiency modular boilers and the conversion from steam to heating hot water, then handled construction administration. In apartment buildings, Concord designs boiler, water-heater and chimney-vent replacements, and new hot-water boilers in warehouses.

Does Concord design VRF and split systems?

Yes. Concord designs variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, split systems and rooftop units, along with chillers, dedicated outdoor-air systems and the automatic temperature controls that run them. The right system depends on the building, the heating and cooling loads and the space available for equipment, so it is settled with load calculations early in design.

Does HVAC design include energy-code compliance?

Yes. Concord prepares the energy-code documentation that goes in with the HVAC drawings. In New York City, the design follows the NYC Energy Conservation Code in force on the filing date. In New Jersey, it follows the energy subcode of the Uniform Construction Code, which uses ASHRAE 90.1 for commercial buildings and the IECC for low-rise residential buildings.

Which codes apply to HVAC design in New York City and New Jersey?

In New York City, mechanical work is designed to the NYC Mechanical Code, gas-fired equipment follows the NYC Fuel Gas Code, and the work is filed with the Department of Buildings. In New Jersey, mechanical and fuel gas work follows the codes adopted in the Uniform Construction Code and is reviewed by the local construction office.
