What Are HVAC Drawings?

HVAC drawings document the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems of a building. They show how conditioned air is distributed throughout the structure, where equipment is located, and how the system connects to the building’s electrical and plumbing infrastructure. These drawings are used by contractors during installation, by building departments during plan review, and by the project team during design coordination. A clear and accurate set of HVAC drawings helps avoid conflicts with other building systems and reduces costly changes during construction.

What BrickBorne’s HVAC Drawings Include

  • Duct layout plans showing supply, return, and exhaust duct routing
  • Equipment schedules for air handlers, condensing units, and furnaces
  • Diffuser and grille placement plans
  • Thermostat and control locations
  • Ventilation calculations and fresh air requirements
  • Refrigerant piping layouts for split and VRF systems
  • Exhaust fan locations and ductwork for kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical rooms
  • Duct sizing and system pressure drop notes

HVAC 3D Modeling

For projects that require coordination between multiple building systems, BrickBorne builds HVAC models in Revit. A 3D HVAC model shows exactly how ductwork, equipment, and piping fit within the ceiling spaces, mechanical rooms, and chases of the building. 3D modeling supports clash detection, which identifies conflicts between the HVAC system and structural elements, electrical conduit, plumbing pipes, or fire protection systems before they become problems during installation.

Residential and Commercial HVAC Projects

BrickBorne provides HVAC drawings for a range of project types:

  • Single-family homes and custom residences
  • ADUs and residential additions
  • Multi-family apartment buildings
  • Office buildings and co-working spaces
  • Retail stores and restaurants
  • Warehouses and industrial facilities
  • Medical offices and healthcare facilities

How the Process Works

BrickBorne starts by reviewing the architectural floor plans and the project’s mechanical requirements. The team then develops the HVAC layout, sizes the ductwork, selects equipment, and produces the drawing set. Throughout the process, the HVAC drawings are coordinated with the architectural, structural, and other MEP plans to ensure everything fits. The final deliverables include permit-ready PDFs and native Revit or CAD files.

FAQs

HVAC drawings are technical documents that show the layout of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in a building. They include duct routing, equipment locations, diffuser placement, and connection details.

Yes. BrickBorne builds HVAC models in Revit for coordination with architectural and structural models. This allows for clash detection and helps resolve space conflicts before construction.

Yes. Most building departments require HVAC plans as part of the mechanical permit application. The drawings must show equipment sizing, duct layout, and ventilation rates that comply with local codes.

HVAC drawings focus specifically on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. MEP drawings cover all three building systems: mechanical (including HVAC), electrical, and plumbing.

Yes. BrickBorne provides HVAC drawing and modeling services for projects of all sizes, from single-family homes to large commercial buildings and multi-family developments.

Yes. BrickBorne coordinates HVAC layouts with architectural, structural, electrical, and plumbing plans to identify and resolve conflicts between systems.
