Ceiling and service space
The unit, ductwork, access panels and maintenance clearances need to fit before ceilings close.
Ducted air conditioning
Concealed comfort still needs visible engineering discipline.
Ducted systems can provide a refined finish, but the result depends on ceiling space, airflow design, grille placement, return-air paths, zoning, sound and future service access.
Concealed system design
Hidden equipment makes coordination more important, not less.
A premium finish only works when the ductwork, grilles, access panels, condensate, controls and acoustic treatment have been designed with the interior and building services.
Airflow and grille design
Supply and return paths should support comfort without excessive draughts or noise.
Acoustic design
Fan, duct, grille and transfer noise need to be considered at the design stage.
Coordinated installation
Drainage, controls and other trades must be aligned with the building and programme.
The Koolology Installation Standard
The system type does not replace the installation standard.
Survey evidence, agreed positions, acoustic review, property protection, approved variations, commissioning, Passport and aftercare still apply to the project.
Plan the project properly
Start with the building evidence.
The page explains a likely project route, but final capacity, equipment, routes and price still need to be confirmed against the actual space.
Frequently asked questions
It can be very quiet when properly designed, but sound depends on equipment, fan duty, duct velocities, grilles, attenuation and where the unit is installed.
Sometimes. Feasibility depends on ceiling or joinery space, access, duct routes and the amount of building work the property can accept.
Zoning options depend on the architecture and controls. The design should confirm which spaces need independent control and how that affects airflow and system operation.
The Koolology Comfort Brief
Start with the space, not a shopping list.
Build a two-minute Comfort Brief and receive a preliminary Koolology Comfort Plan. Koolology can then confirm whether the next step is a technical call, site survey or service assessment.
