This three-story house in Denver included a crawl space along with a living room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a family room. Mechanical design was provided by 3S MEP + Structural for the HVAC system.

The 3S MEP team calculated the heat load and designed a ventilation system to meet IMC-18 standards. The first and second-floor heating and cooling is provided by a furnace and cooling coil. For the third floor, we selected a ductless split heat pump.

We provided Manual J, D, and S calculations with ACCA-approved software for city approval.

With all 3S MEP projects, a primary focus is integrating MEP and structural designs with the construction and architectural partners and the end-users to minimize the need for design adjustments or revisions during the construction process. Design teams from 3S MEP actively engage with all stakeholders to identify potential conflicts and optimize overall system layout. Our teams are exceptionally proficient at harmonizing essential building elements for successful outcomes.
