HVAC & Plumbing Design Services
Whether you are constructing a new commercial building or renovating an existing facility, the mechanical systems you install will have a lasting impact on your comfort, energy costs, and operational reliability. Michaud Engineering provides professional HVAC and plumbing design services for commercial buildings — delivering practical, code-compliant systems engineered for your specific needs and budget.
What We Design:
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for commercial and light industrial buildings
- Hydronic heating systems including boilers, piping, and distribution equipment
- Rooftop unit (RTU) and split system selection and layout
- Exhaust and ventilation systems for kitchens, laboratories, and specialty spaces
- Domestic hot and cold water plumbing systems
- Sanitary drainage and waste systems
- Natural gas piping systems for commercial buildings
- Equipment connections and utility coordination
Our Design Process:
Michaud Engineering takes a practical, owner-focused approach to mechanical design. We begin by understanding how your building will actually be used — occupancy patterns, equipment loads, utility costs, and long-term maintenance considerations. From there we develop a system design that balances first cost with lifecycle cost, giving you a facility that performs reliably and efficiently for years to come.
Our deliverables typically include:
- Mechanical and plumbing design drawings suitable for permitting and construction
- Equipment schedules and specifications
- Load calculations and equipment sizing documentation
- Coordination with architectural and structural drawings
- Construction administration support as needed
Why Choose a Licensed Professional Engineer?
HVAC and plumbing systems in commercial buildings must be designed by a licensed Professional Engineer in most jurisdictions. Robert S. Michaud, P.E. holds Professional Engineering licenses in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Florida — ensuring your project meets all applicable code and licensure requirements.
Beyond compliance, working with a PE means your systems are designed with engineering judgment — not just rule-of-thumb sizing. This translates to systems that work as intended from day one, with fewer callbacks, lower energy bills, and longer equipment life.
