Ventilation Design & Performance Review (Mechanical & Natural)

We provide practical, compliant ventilation design and performance assessments—from concept through construction—covering both mechanical and natural ventilation systems, with a focus on NCC compliance, airflow performance, and coordination with other building services.

Our approach combines engineering judgement with performance-based assessment, including CFD simulation where required, to support confident design decisions.

Our work covers a wide range of building types, including residential, commercial, healthcare, data centres, and industrial facilities.

What We Offer

✅ Ventilation Design & Assessment (Mechanical & Natural)

• Desktop review of ventilation strategies and compliance pathways (NCC)

• Mechanical ventilation system design (car parks, plant rooms, common areas, tenancies)
• Natural ventilation assessment for residential and mixed-use developments (NCC compliant)
• Cross-ventilation effectiveness and airflow pathway evaluation
• Outside air and exhaust design (AS 1668.2 / ASHRAE aligned)
• Stair pressurisation and smoke control systems
• HVAC load calculations, system sizing, and equipment schedules

✅ Design Documentation & Coordination

• Design drawings (DA, CC, IFC, As-Built) in DWG and PDF
• Coordination with architectural, façade, and other building services (desktop-based)

✅ BIM Coordination & Clash Detection

• Revit-based BIM modelling
• Coordination with project teams
• Clash detection and revision support

✅ NCC Performance & Compliance Support

• Ventilation performance solutions in accordance with NCC requirements (including Section F4)
• Preparation of Performance-Based Design Briefs (PBDB), defining performance objectives, acceptance criteria, and assessment methodology
• Development of performance-based design approaches supported by engineering analysis and CFD where required
• RFI responses, compliance statements, and design certification
• Support for sustainability documentation (ESD / Green Star)

✅ Applicable Standards:

• NCC (National Construction Code)
• AS 1668.2 – Mechanical Ventilation in Buildings
• AS 1668.4 – Natural Ventilation in Buildings
• ASHRAE Guidelines
