Comfort, Efficiency, and Reliability Insight
Criterium-Williams Engineers provides HVAC performance evaluations for commercial buildings of any type or age. Our licensed engineers assess the visible condition, reported operation, and system efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment so owners and managers can make informed maintenance, repair, or replacement decisions.
Why HVAC Performance Matters
HVAC systems influence occupant comfort, indoor air quality, and long-term operating costs. When systems underperform, buildings may experience temperature fluctuations, humidity issues, or poor airflow. Our engineers conduct visual evaluations designed to help identify potential causes of these deficiencies and can provide practical recommendations intended to assist with system performance and service life.
Typical Evaluation Scenarios
- Areas not meeting temperature setpoints
- Unusually high energy consumption
- Humidity or moisture complaints
- Ongoing occupant comfort/IAQ concerns
