Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are the lungs of any building—responsible for comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency. At FutureGen Consulting Inc., we engineer HVAC solutions that are more than just functional. We design systems that are smart, sustainable, and tailored to the specific needs of each building and client.

Whether you’re developing a residential complex, commercial space, or mixed-use facility, our HVAC designs are engineered for long-term performance, code compliance, and seamless integration.

Why Proper HVAC Design Matters

Too often, HVAC systems are oversized, under-ventilated, or poorly coordinated with other building systems. The consequences?

Poor occupant comfort
High energy bills
Inconsistent temperatures
Noise issues
System inefficiencies and premature wear
Permit delays due to non-compliance

Great HVAC design takes into account not just heating and cooling loads, but airflow, zoning, control strategies, and building envelope characteristics. That’s what we do at FutureGen—deliver systems engineered to perform as intended, for the long run.

What We Offer

Our HVAC System Design Services include:

Load calculations (heating and cooling)
Ductwork layout and sizing
Equipment selection (furnaces, HRVs, ERVs, heat pumps, fan coils, rooftop units, etc.)
Ventilation calculations as per ASHRAE and OBC
Zone controls and thermostat placement
Refrigerant line diagrams
Exhaust and make-up air coordination
Code compliance verification
Permit-ready mechanical drawings
Energy efficiency recommendations (Heat Pumps, VRF/VRV, etc.)

We work with the latest design standards and software tools to ensure optimal sizing, airflow balance, and system functionality.

Our Process

1. Requirement Gathering

We begin by reviewing architectural plans, occupancy types, and client preferences. We identify room functions, ceiling heights, window placement, and orientation to determine the building’s thermal behavior.

2. Load Calculations

Using industry standards like CSA-F280 and ASHRAE guidelines, we calculate:

Heating loads (kW or BTU/h)
Cooling loads
Ventilation rates
Latent/sensible heat considerations

This ensures the system is neither underpowered nor oversized—saving money and improving comfort.

3. System Type Selection

Based on project size, budget, and performance goals, we help select the ideal HVAC system type:

Centralized or decentralized
Gas furnace with AC
Heat pumps (ducted or ductless)
Rooftop units (RTUs)
VRF/VRV multi-zone systems
Packaged units or split systems

We balance performance, cost, space constraints, and long-term serviceability.

4. Duct & Piping Layouts

We design:

Duct routing and sizing
Return air and supply air locations
Diffuser and grille placement
Refrigerant piping runs (if applicable)
Exhaust and ventilation routing

All layouts are designed to avoid architectural or structural conflicts and support quiet operation.

5. Controls & Zoning

Where applicable, we recommend zoning systems, programmable thermostats, and control strategies to reduce energy use and enhance occupant comfort.

6. Documentation & Submission

We provide sealed, permit-ready mechanical drawings including:

HVAC layout plans
Equipment schedules
Ventilation calculations
System notes
ESA or city mechanical permit documentation

Our Experience Spans All Sectors

FutureGen provides HVAC system design for:

Custom homes and subdivisions
Townhomes and stacked units
Commercial plazas and offices
Warehouses and light industrial facilities
Daycares, clinics, and long-term care facilities
Renovation and retrofit projects

We also support electrification projects, where gas systems are being replaced with heat pump or hybrid solutions to reduce carbon footprint.

Code Compliance? We’ve Got It Covered.

All designs are compliant with:

Ontario Building Code (OBC)
National Building Code (NBC) if applicable
CSA F280 load calculation methods
ASHRAE ventilation standards
Local municipal requirements for mechanical permits

We also align our designs with energy code requirements where applicable, helping you meet targets for LEED, ENERGY STAR®, or Net Zero-ready buildings.
