Specification Support

Selecting the right fan coil units, chilled water cassettes and controls is essential to achieving long-term system performance, energy efficiency and occupant comfort. At Ability, our specification support team works with consultants, architects, designers, contractors and building owners to help identify the most suitable HVAC solution for each project.

From early-stage design and product selection through to witness testing, installation and commissioning support, we help ensure systems perform as intended and meet project requirements. Whether you're developing a new build or refurbishing an existing property, our experienced team can provide practical guidance, technical expertise and project-specific recommendations throughout the design and delivery process.

Our Support Services

Fan Coil Unit Selection

Identify the right solution for your project

Our team helps select the most suitable fan coil units, chilled water cassettes and controls based on performance requirements, space constraints, energy efficiency targets and acoustic considerations.

Design & Technical Support

Expert guidance throughout the design process

We work closely with consultants, architects and contractors to understand project requirements early, providing practical advice on product application, system design and performance optimisation.

Controls & BMS Integration

Intelligent control strategies

Our in-house controls specialists develop effective control solutions, including Building Management System (BMS) integration, to support energy efficiency, occupant comfort and long-term system performance.

Witness Testing

Validate performance before installation

Using our dedicated testing facility in Poole, we can replicate project conditions to verify acoustic, airflow and thermal performance, helping to reduce risk before installation begins.

BIM Models & Technical Documentation

Supporting accurate system design

We provide BIM models, technical drawings, performance data and project-specific selection schedules to support coordination, specification and installation planning.

Commissioning Support

Assistance through project delivery

Our support extends beyond specification, helping customers with installation, commissioning and project handover to ensure systems perform as intended.

Witness Testing & Validation

Following a site survey, Ability team can replicate proposed refurbishment solutions within our dedicated testing facility in Poole, Dorset. Using customer drawings and system layouts, testing allows project teams to validate refurbishment choices before works commence on site. Testing capabilities include:

Acoustic testing
Volumetric performance testing
Thermal performance testing

Clients receive a detailed report including test results, photographs, layout drawings and calibration certificates, providing confidence that refurbishment proposals will meet project requirements.
