Process Safety Engineer

An HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Design Engineer is a professional responsible for the design, selection, and implementation of HVAC systems in buildings and industrial facilities. They play a crucial role in creating comfortable, energy-efficient, and safe indoor environments by designing HVAC systems that meet the specific requirements of the project.

  1. System Design: Designing HVAC systems for buildings and facilities, considering factors such as building size, occupancy, thermal loads, climate, and local building codes.

  2. Load Calculations: Performing heat load calculations to determine the heating and cooling requirements of the building and select appropriate equipment.

  3. Equipment Selection: Selecting HVAC equipment, including air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, fans, and ventilation systems, based on the project's specifications and energy efficiency goals.

  4. Ductwork and Piping Design: Designing the layout of ductwork and piping systems to distribute conditioned air and ensure proper ventilation throughout the building.

  5. Energy Efficiency: Incorporating energy-efficient technologies and strategies, such as variable speed drives, energy recovery systems, and zoning controls, to optimize HVAC system performance and reduce energy consumption.

  6. Code Compliance: Ensuring that the HVAC design complies with local building codes, environmental regulations, and industry standards.

  7. Simulation and Modeling: Using computer simulations and modeling tools to analyze the performance of HVAC systems and optimize their design.

  8. Indoor Air Quality: Designing ventilation systems to provide adequate outdoor air and maintain healthy indoor air quality for building occupants.

  9. Sustainability: Integrating sustainable and environmentally friendly practices into HVAC design, such as using renewable energy sources or low-emission technologies.
