MEP Engineering & California Title 24 Energy Compliance
21-Ton New Air Conditioning Unit Installation
This project involved the installation of a new 21-ton air conditioning unit for an industrial building located in Santa Ana, California, near John Wayne Airport. The scope required full MEP engineering services along with California Title 24 energy compliance.
Creative Design Partners, Inc. (CDP) provided comprehensive engineering support for this HVAC upgrade, ensuring the new system was properly sized, energy-efficient, and fully coordinated with the existing industrial infrastructure.
This was not a simple equipment replacement. A 21-ton HVAC unit significantly impacts electrical demand, mechanical distribution, structural considerations, and energy performance calculations. All systems were carefully engineered to meet City of Santa Ana plan check requirements and comply with the California Energy Code (Title 24).
Scope of Work
- Mechanical engineering for installation of a new 21-ton HVAC unit
- HVAC load verification and system sizing for industrial occupancy
- Electrical engineering coordination for new equipment power requirements
- Review of mechanical distribution and integration with existing systems
- California Title 24 energy compliance documentation and calculations
- Coordination with contractor and equipment specifications
- Permit-ready construction documents and City of Santa Ana plan check support
Industrial HVAC projects near John Wayne Airport require careful attention to code compliance, energy standards, and constructability. This project was engineered to meet all applicable California Building Code and Title 24 Energy Code requirements without delays or redesign.
