Yes. For example, hospitals need HVAC systems with highly efficient air filtration, like HEPA, to maintain sterile air quality. Concert halls use variable air volume systems for consistent comfort that doesn’t affect acoustics amid occupancy changes. Office buildings benefit from zoning systems that cater to different spaces and occupancy levels. Similarly, large residential structures often employ centralized, multi-zone HVAC for individualized control and energy efficiency.

At Ketchum & Walton Co., we offer air quality services that tailor high-performance HVAC systems and equipment to meet the unique demands of each building type, ensuring high quality and precision across various environments.

HVAC systems are comprised of several key components and mechanical systems, such as air handling units, ductwork, filters, chillers, boilers, heat pumps, cooling systems, thermostats, and refrigeration equipment. Each of these components is critical for the system to function effectively, ensuring optimal indoor air quality and managing energy consumption efficiently. Moreover, the design of each system must be tailored to address the unique requirements of the building and the comfort of its occupants.

Mechanical systems create structure-borne noise through vibration. These vibrations travel through the building and invade other spaces.
Further, outdoor mechanical equipment can cause environmental noise that disrupts the areas surrounding the building. The best way to control structure-borne noise within the facility is to contain it at the source by installing resilient products such as spring isolators, spring hangers, isolated roof curbs, and other acoustical treatments under your equipment to separate it from the structure and prevent the transmission of noise.
Other products like acoustical louvers and sound barriers can contain unwanted noise from outdoor mechanical equipment.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning (ASHRAE) sets industry standards for thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and other aspects related to HVAC systems. All of our products meet and exceed industry standards and are certified by the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).
