Analyzed HVAC system requirements by evaluating airflow dynamics—including pressure, velocity, duct sizing, and run lengths—to ensure room comfort and performance.• Calculated static pressure losses for supply and return runs using the ASHRAE Handbook (2021), AutoCAD drawings, and Excel-based models; identified loss coefficients and verified compliance with standard. Then compiled calculation documents with annotated Adobe screenshots of key duct runs and corresponding description.• Detected and corrected errors in duct and vent noise level calculations; utilized Daikin Duct Sizer to determine velocity and headloss values based on duct dimensions and airflow.• Conducted a detailed cost analysis for a chemical trailer system by sourcing component prices and developing a comprehensive repair cost spreadsheet.
