Local Design Considerations in Wilmington
North Carolina has a mixed-humid climate from the mountains to a hurricane-exposed Atlantic coast. 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. In practical terms for Wilmington, cooling with humidity control leads in most of the state, with balanced heating in the mountains and coastal equipment protection near the shore.
Wilmington’s building activity commonly includes technology and research (Research Triangle), commercial and multifamily buildings, healthcare and life-science facilities and banking and corporate offices, and our engineering scope is tailored to each project rather than applied from a generic template.
