Your dedicated HVAC Designer brings mechanical engineering design support at 50%+ lower cost than a US-based hire. They perform load calculations, design ductwork distribution systems, select equipment, and produce fully coordinated Revit MEP models under the direction of your licensed Mechanical Engineer of Record. With 4,400+ monthly searches for 'hvac load calculation,' HVAC design represents one of the highest-demand remote AEC functions — and every specialist is pre-vetted to meet those standards.
HVAC design is a calculation-driven, documentation-intensive discipline — making it well-suited to dedicated remote work. Load calculations, equipment schedules, ductwork layouts, and Revit modeling all translate seamlessly to distributed workflows. Your HVAC Designer works during your US business hours, joins coordination review meetings, and produces deliverables to your firm's standards. LATAM timezone overlap (0–3 hours behind EST/CST) ensures real-time availability.
Flexible arrangements to fit your capacity needs – dedicated individuals or scalable team setups.
Full-time (40h/week) or part-time (20h/week) HVAC Designer embedded in your MEP team. Works in your Revit or AutoCAD environment, follows your firm standards, and produces deliverables aligned to your project delivery schedule.
From ~$3,500/mo
Full MEP team (electrical, mechanical/HVAC, plumbing designers) working in parallel for multi-discipline projects. Ideal for firms running multiple active jobs requiring parallel production workloads.
Custom — based on team size and scope
Specialists are vetted on the tools your team already uses.
Revit MEP
Coordinated 3D mechanical BIM modeling, ductwork routing, equipment placement, and clash-ready model delivery.
AutoCAD
2D mechanical floor plans, detail drawings, section cuts, and equipment schedules for non-BIM projects.
Carrier HAP
Hourly HVAC load analysis, psychrometric analysis, system energy performance, and equipment selection.
Trane TRACE 700
Load calculations, system energy analysis, and ASHRAE compliance documentation support.
Navisworks
Multi-discipline clash detection for ductwork coordination against structural, plumbing, and electrical systems.
Autodesk Construction Cloud / BIM 360
Cloud model coordination, issue tracking, and design review for BIM-required project workflows.
Typical outputs produced by a dedicated HVAC Designer for US teams.
Dedicated HVAC Designers start at approximately $3,500/month for full-time engagement (40h/week). Part-time (20h/week) and MEP pod configurations are also available. Pricing varies based on experience level (load calculation proficiency, Revit vs. AutoCAD workflow, energy compliance experience) and project building type.
Final pricing depends on experience level, hours per week, and engagement model.
Often paired with or complementary to the HVAC Designer role.
Common questions about hiring a HVAC Designer through LatAm Scalers.
An HVAC Designer performs heating and cooling load calculations (Manual J/D and ASHRAE methods), selects HVAC equipment (AHUs, VAV boxes, fan coils, rooftop units), designs ductwork distribution layouts, produces mechanical schedules and equipment specifications, and coordinates with structural and architectural disciplines for equipment clearances and penetrations. They work under your licensed Mechanical Engineer of Record.
Yes. Our experienced HVAC Designers are familiar with ASHRAE 90.1 compliance requirements and can support Title 24 documentation workflows. For full energy modeling outputs (e.g., EnergyPlus, eQUEST simulations), we can match you with specialists with energy modeling backgrounds. Scope is confirmed at the staffing call.
Our HVAC Designers work in Revit MEP for coordinated mechanical BIM models, AutoCAD for 2D plan and detail production, Carrier HAP and Trane TRACE 700 for load calculations and equipment selection, and Navisworks for multi-discipline clash detection. Tool proficiency is vetted during our screening process.
HVAC Designers coordinate ductwork routing through federated Revit models or linked AutoCAD files, running clash detection against structural framing, beams, and architectural ceiling plenum constraints. They flag conflicts, propose routing solutions, and update models based on coordination resolutions — all under your project engineer's direction.
Dedicated HVAC Designers start at approximately $3,500/month for full-time engagement (40h/week). Part-time and MEP pod configurations are also available. US-based equivalents typically cost $75,000–$115,000/year fully loaded — LATAM saves 50–65% with no reduction in technical output quality.
