HVAC

Kelly, Wright & Associates provides HVAC design services including audits, feasibility studies, life cycle analyses, payback analyses, master planning, central heating and cooling plants, commercial kitchens, laboratories, and all types of air distribution systems. The designers at KWA often run multiple iterations of different design ideas in order to provide the best solution for each project, taking into account owner requirements and desires, budget concerns and payback analysis, energy usage, maintenance, etc.

Implementing the latest versions of AutoCAD MEP and Revit MEP, the KWA team provides three-dimensional mechanical engineering designs with fully coordinated ductwork and equipment sizes, locations, and elevations. A leader in the development and utilization of AutoCAD mvparts, KWA is pushing the envelope of 3D mechanical engineering design.

3D BIM

Kelly, Wright & Associates endeavors to be at the leading edge of technology. We have implemented a 3-D HVAC drafting standard for all new projects. We have joined with an internet-based company to create three dimensional smart blocks for use with AutoCAD MEP. We are also competent in the use of Autodesk Revit. Through diligent training and the use of these tools, we can provide 3-D HVAC documentation, collision detection and Building Information Modeling (BIM) on a cost-competitive basis. As the technology for 3-D piping design progresses, we envision doing the complete plumbing and fire protection design work in 3-D to better coordinate with the other disciplines.
