Therefore, the overall planning of the system should be better completed on the basis of overall construction. For the construction of relevant commercial complexes, attention should be paid to the design requirements of HVAC in the actual development process, and comprehensive arrangements should be made for the design systems of different blocks. For better development, comprehensive planning is carried out according to the actual development requirements, so as to meet the actual development requirements of HVAC design to the maximum extent and improve the related construction effect to the maximum extent.展开更多
