LEED-Certified Expertise & Innovation

As a LEED Green Associate, Berkun Air is at the forefront of sustainable building technology. We were proud to serve as the design and build team for the first LEED Platinum home in Palm Beach. We provide GCs, architects, and developers with:

 

  • VFR (Variable Flow Refrigerant) Specialists: Engineering systems for precise, zoned climate control in large-scale estates.
  • Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV): Designing advanced air filtration and ventilation systems that prioritize indoor air quality.
  • System Optimization: Guiding equipment selection to maximize SEER/EER ratings and long-term sustainability.

Our Collaborative Process

We integrate seamlessly into your project workflow, providing expert oversight from the blueprint stage through final commissioning.

 

  • Assessment & Design Sizing: We perform rigorous load calculations and infrastructure evaluations to ensure the system is perfectly sized for the space—preventing the common pitfalls of undersized or oversized units.
  • Precision Layout & Integration: We strategically place indoor and outdoor units to preserve the architectural integrity of the build while ensuring even air distribution and whisper-quiet performance.
  • Ductwork & Ventilation Excellence: From standard high-efficiency ducting to custom copper installations, our work is sealed and insulated to prevent energy loss and ensure maximum longevity.
  • Controls & BMS Integration: We set up sophisticated thermostats and sensors, including integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) for centralized, smart control.
  • Rigorous Testing & Commissioning: We don’t just turn the system on; we fine-tune every setting, check for malfunctions, and verify that the output matches the engineering specifications exactly.

Documentation

Upon completion, we provide comprehensive documentation for your project files, including system specifications and maintenance schedules. We also provide training for the building staff or homeowners to ensure they are comfortable operating their new high-performance system.
