Commercial air-conditioning falls into the category of Heating, Air-conditioning and ventilation referred to as HVAV. The point of difference to domestic is normally the area volume that the air conditioning needs to service. Smaller areas often use flexible duct where the larger area will use a fabricated steel duct. The steel duct is often suspended from under the slab.
