- A 4,000 sq. ft. showroom
- 2,000 sq. ft. of office space

Three spaces, three different needs
A building like this combines very different mechanical requirements under one roof:
- The showroom needs comfortable, quiet heating and cooling for customers.
- The offices need year-round comfort and good ventilation for staff.
- The warehouse needs practical heat for a large, high-ceiling space where big loading doors open throughout the day.
Designing one mechanical system that serves all three efficiently is the kind of work Waywest does on commercial heating and commercial HVAC projects.

Common questions
What did Waywest provide for Gregg Distributors?
Waywest Mechanical provided full mechanical and commercial HVAC services for Gregg Distributors' new 28,000 sq. ft. steel frame building in Nanaimo, which combines a showroom, offices and a warehouse with large loading bays.
What makes heating a warehouse with loading bays difficult?
Large loading doors let in cold air every time they open, and high ceilings trap warm air above the work area. Warehouse heating design has to account for door traffic, ceiling height and how the space is used, often combining unit or radiant heaters with separate systems for offices and showrooms.
