Is it about heating&cooling loads, airflow, smoke exhaust systems, etc, calculations, drafting, editing?
Heating and Cooling loads
System design (determine which type of equipment would work best, i.e. direct expansion units, water cooled chillers, air cooled chillers)
Equipment Selection
Equipment layout
duct design and layout
piping design and layout
pump sizing if required
exhaust fans and exhaust duct routing for restrooms,etc…
controls for HVAC and chilled water systems including interface to a DDC system if required
drawing up the design sometimes
scheduling the equipment
writing the specifications
reviewing submittals during construction
help with estimating and material take-offs
answering Requests For Information (RFI’s) from contractors
evaluating bids
coordinating the design with structural engineers, architectual engineers and electrical engineers.
providing electrical engineers with the electrical information of the HVAC equipment
that is all I can think of right now
