In large industrial buildings, production halls, warehouses, or public utility facilities, HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) play a critical role — both in terms of user comfort and the energy efficiency of the entire building. A well-designed ventilation and air conditioning system can significantly reduce operating costs, ensure safe working conditions, and support sustainable construction standards.

At BAUREN, we understand how to design HVAC systems based on the real needs of investors and contractors — not only in compliance with regulations, but also with a deep understanding of the facility’s technology.

In high-volume facilities such as:

• production and assembly halls,

• high-bay warehouses,

• logistics centers,

• modern office buildings within industrial complexes,

• public facilities (e.g. schools, cultural centers),

HVAC system design requires an individual approach. Off-the-shelf solutions won’t suffice. Close coordination across disciplines, a thorough analysis of the building’s operational needs, and expert knowledge of relevant regulations are all essential.

1. The nature and function of the facility
The HVAC design must take into account:

• type of activity (e.g. food production, logistics, office use),
• emission of pollutants (dust, fumes, gases),
• sanitary and hygiene standards,the need for zonal separation (e.g. clean/dirty zones in pharmaceutical warehouses).

2. Regulations and legal requirements
The design must comply with:

• the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of April 12, 2002, on the technical conditions to be met by buildings and their location,
• PN-EN 16798-1 – guidelines for indoor air parameters,
• health & safety (OHS) and fire protection standards,
• energy efficiency and heat recovery requirements.

3. Energy efficiency
Modern HVAC systems should:

• include heat recovery solutions (e.g. recuperation),
• allow for zoning and automated control,
• integrate with Building Management Systems (BMS),
• utilize renewable energy sources, such as heat pumps.

4. Operation and maintenance
A good design ensures not only system performance but also ease of maintenance, service access, and low operating costs. Designers must work closely with contractors and investors to select durable, practical, and well-thought-out solutions.

5. Multidisciplinary coordination
HVAC systems are among the most complex installations in a building. They must be carefully coordinated with the structural, electrical, plumbing, and process systems. At BAUREN, we ensure such coordination comprehensively — during the detailed design stage and within the BIM model.

Our design team consists of experienced sanitary and HVAC engineers, structural designers, and coordination specialists. This enables us to:

• thoroughly analyze the specific needs of the facility and investor,

• design systems optimized for energy use and operational cost,

• deliver clear, conflict-free construction documentation ready for execution.

We design with the contractor in mind — but also from the perspective of the end-user. We also account for future expansions, system upgrades, and adaptability.

• Tailoring the system to the facility’s function and technology
• Compliance with building codes and European standards
• Energy efficiency and user comfort
• Interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination
• Thoughtfully developed construction documentation

At BAUREN, we specialize in the design of industrial buildings, halls, warehouses, and public facilities. Our experience, well-developed design department, and contractor-oriented approach ensure that our documentation is buildable — with no surprises on-site.
