HVAC Design Engineer Skills and Qualifications

HVAC design engineers are professionals with a high degree of mechanical
aptitude and a talent for math who calculate and design heating and cooling

systems for buildings of all sizes. Employers hire HVAC design engineers who
possess the following skills:
 Time management – HVAC design engineers use time management skills to work
within tight deadlines and finish projects on time

 Mathematics – because HVAC design engineers make numerous calculations,
excellent math skills are essential for this job

 Communication skills – HVAC design engineers use communication skills to
write budget estimates and speak with customers and other designers

 Mechanical expertise – HVAC design engineers use their mechanical abilities to
design complicated heating and cooling systems

 Analytical thinking – HVAC design engineers use analytical skills to determine
how much heating and cooling power is needed for a specific space, then turn
these estimates into design concepts

 Multitasking – HVAC design engineers may work on many different heating and
cooling projects at once, which requires a talent for multitasking

 Customer service – HVAC design engineers answer questions, present budget
bids, and make recommendations about heating and cooling systems to
customers

HVAC design engineers perform various job duties based on the size of the
heating and cooling projects they work on, the type of property where systems
are needed, and the heating and cooling needs of customers. However, these core
job tasks are the same despite these differences:
Design HVAC Systems
HVAC design engineers create heating and cooling systems and their controls.

Calculate Heating and Cooling Needs

HVAC design engineers make load calculations to determine how much heating and cooling
power various equipment must put out in order to heat or cool spaces when needed.

Interpret and Draft Plans
HVAC design engineers read and interpret construction plans, schematics, and blueprints for
new construction projects. They also draft new plans to design ductwork and piping systems.

Calculate Ventilation Requirements
HVAC design engineers calculate ventilation requirements based on the types of systems
needed.

Determine Budget Costs
HVAC design engineers determine costs for heating and cooling systems and write up
detailed budget estimates.

Coordinate with Others
HVAC design engineers coordinate and collaborate with architects and engineers when
designing heating and cooling systems.

Adhere to All Building Codes
HVAC design engineers follow all building codes and obtain proper building permits when
necessary.
