Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Coordinate lighting and controls with glazing and evening privacy.
Decide this before construction
Select window divisions, shading fixings and connection points in the same design round. Visible equipment then need not be fitted around completed finishes afterwards.
Allow for later maintenance
Keep controls and glazing accessible with the final furniture arrangement. Store glazing and shading instructions together, including any restrictions on cleaning products.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on room count, system type, pipe length and installation. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for air conditioning & cooling. Identify the elements that should remain.
