People always want to know how much it's going to cost. So in this issue we try to give you at least an idea of how much you can expect to pay for the kind of air handling system you need for animal care facilities.

To synopsize past articles: Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork transmits sound and odor. To control the transmission of this unpleasantness (which you'd like to keep out of your public areas) you need a building design that prevents the HVAC ducts from penetrating walls that separate public areas from treatment and housing areas.
Typically this involves multiple HVAC units in order to control air handling of the different zones separately.

This is not cheap.

HVAC costs are dependent on a number of variables, so it's hard to predict simply based on square feet of the building. Still, we can help you get a grip on the ballpark you're in when building new or remodeling a building of another use to create a veterinary and/or boarding facility.

Forewarned is forearmed. See page 4 for more information.
