Commercial Buildings

Central HVAC for malls, hotels, offices and showrooms: chillers, AHUs, VRF, BMS and fire systems that keep tenants comfortable and bills predictable.

Commercial Buildings — MHM Engineering

InterContinental Dhaka, Eastern Plus and Fortune Shopping Centre depend on MHM for central plant that runs quietly behind the scenes. Commercial buildings need part-load efficiency — the plant runs at 40–60% load most hours — low noise near guest rooms, and a BMS that lets one operator run the building.

We deliver chillers and towers, AHUs and FCUs, VRF where floors are let separately, ducting, fire hydrant and sprinkler systems, lifts and BMS integration, with AMC crews used to working around guests and shoppers.

What the sector needs

The engineering problems in commercial buildings

Efficiency at part load

Multiple smaller chillers, VFD pumps and tower fans, and chilled-water reset for the 40–60% load that dominates the year.

Comfort and indoor air

AHUs with fresh-air control, CO₂ demand ventilation and low-noise fans near occupied areas.

One operator, one screen

BMS with schedules, alarms and energy dashboards; tenant sub-metering where floors are let.

Life safety

Fire hydrant, sprinkler and smoke-control systems integrated with the HVAC shutdown sequence.

What MHM delivers

How we solve them

  1. 1

    Central chilled-water plant

    Water-cooled screw chillers with towers for large buildings; air-cooled or VRF for smaller ones.

  2. 2

    Air side

    AHUs, FCUs, ducting, ventilation and kitchen exhaust.

  3. 3

    Building management

    Siemens Desigo or KMC BACnet BMS with energy reporting.

  4. 4

    Fire protection & lifts

    Hydrant and sprinkler systems, fire pumps, passenger and service lifts.

Questions

Common questions from commercial buildings plants

Chilled water wins above roughly 150 TR or where a single owner pays the bill; VRF suits multi-tenant floors and phased fit-outs. Many buildings use both — we design the split.

Yes. Hotel and mall AMCs are scheduled at night with quiet-work rules and a named site lead.
