Local Design Considerations in Chapel Hill

North Carolina has a mixed-humid climate from the mountains to a hurricane-exposed Atlantic coast. Cooling with humidity control leads in most of the state, with balanced heating in the mountains and coastal equipment protection near the shore. With a mixed climate that sees both meaningful heating and cooling seasons, balanced system sizing, economizer operation and shoulder-season control are important to comfort and energy performance. Our engineers apply these considerations to each Chapel Hill project.

Chapel Hill’s building activity commonly includes furniture and advanced manufacturing, banking and corporate offices, healthcare and life-science facilities and technology and research (Research Triangle), and our engineering scope is tailored to each project rather than applied from a generic template.
