✕ CloseMEP / HVAC / Acoustic
MEP design and acoustics consulting for buildings
View details →Comprehensive design and implementation of MEP systems, HVAC, and building acoustics. Integrated solutions ensuring operational efficiency and thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort for occupants.
Scope: electrical, plumbing, ventilation, and air conditioning system design; soundproofing consulting, noise control, acoustic simulation & design for meeting rooms, auditoriums, and hotels. Optimizing both initial investment and long-term operating costs.
✕ CloseEnergy Retrofit
Energy renovation for existing buildings
View details →Energy assessment and retrofit solutions for existing buildings. Target: 20-40% reduction in operating costs without affecting occupant comfort.
Process: detailed energy audit, measurement & analysis of actual operating data, energy benchmarking model, retrofit proposals (HVAC upgrade, envelope improvement, lighting optimization, renewable energy installation) with cost-benefit analysis and payback period for each solution.
At EDEEC, we perform energy efficiency upgrade assessments to ASHRAE Level 3 — the highest level never before performed in Vietnam — to maximize investment efficiency and emission reduction. The process requires a calibrated baseline energy model matching actual operating data, followed by sensitivity analysis and cumulative cost analysis for investment and energy costs to provide comprehensive investment recommendations.
✕ CloseThermal & Building Energy Design
Optimizing investment & operation costs
View details →Advanced thermal-energy simulation and analysis for buildings. Simultaneously optimizing the building envelope (walls, glazing, roof), HVAC systems, and lighting — reducing energy consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional design.
This is the core technical foundation that determines a building's actual energy performance. Services include: envelope thermal analysis (OTTV/ETTTC), hourly thermal load simulation, envelope optimization with daylight analysis, passive thermal comfort hour assessment, natural ventilation integration, comprehensive building energy evaluation, and compliance reporting for QCVN 09:2017 and international standards.
EDEEC is the only firm in Vietnam with experts who have participated in high-performance building projects with the Ministry of Construction, funded by leading international organizations such as UNDP, USAID, GEF, IFC.
✕ CloseHigh-Performance HVAC Design
High-efficiency air conditioning systems
View details →HVAC & ventilation system design achieving superior efficiency, combining detailed thermal load analysis, CFD simulation, and BMS control optimization.
Unlike conventional HVAC design, this service focuses on: selecting the highest-efficiency system concepts and equipment, optimal air distribution design, natural ventilation integration where feasible, heat recovery and free cooling solutions. Detailed thermal comfort verification with CFD, air-cooled chiller and VRF condenser heat rejection assessment using CFD.
Results: HVAC energy consumption 30-50% lower than minimum-standard designs, while ensuring thermal comfort per ASHRAE 55.
This advanced technical capability is only available at EDEEC in the Vietnamese market.
✕ CloseNet Zero Energy Building
Energy-balanced building design (≤7 floors)
View details →Designing buildings that achieve Net Zero Energy — annual energy consumption equals or is less than on-site renewable energy production and/or purchased offsets. Suitable for buildings of 7 floors or below.
Comprehensive solutions include: high-performance building envelope (insulation, Low-E glass, shading, thermal bridge reduction), optimized HVAC systems, natural lighting combined with high-efficiency LED, rooftop solar PV, smart energy management (BMS). Each project is simulated and optimized to achieve the best possible energy balance — or even energy-positive status — becoming a landmark for the area.
LEED-certified buildings can additionally achieve LEED Net Zero Energy certification, currently the most prestigious credential for sustainable buildings worldwide.
EDEEC is the pioneer and only firm in Vietnam with the capability to comprehensively deliver Net Zero Energy Buildings.

Buildings – along with the people who live and work in them – have impacts on the environment throughout their lifecycle, from the construction phase to operation and demolition. They consume natural resources, use energy and water, and generate waste. On the other hand, green buildings offer solutions to reduce — or even eliminate — […]
Techcombank is currently one of the leading names in the banking sector in Vietnam, with two headquarters in Hanoi and Saigon: Hanoi Building in the downtown area and Saigon Building in the business centre quarter. Both buildings, located on “diamond places of the city” with modern architecture, are designed by the world’s leading design consulting […]
In order to provide proper viewing comfort, the light must not only be bright enough, but also evenly distributed, or avoid creating glare for the occupants. EDEEC has performed luminance measurements for many buildings and can provide appropriate advice to reduce this phenomenon. First, let’s find out what glare is. Putting high brightness areas next […]
Energy-efficient buildings are only effective when the occupants feel comfortable. If uncomfortable, then they will choose solutions and means to actively heat or cool the room such as heaters or window air conditioners that are less efficient than typical heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Measuring thermal comfort is difficult because it is highly […]
The SHGC index is the ratio of the glass to the solar radiant heat passing through. This is an important indicator when choosing glass for energy-efficient buildings, especially for glass-encased buildings. Specifically, if SHGC = 0.81 that means 81% of the solar radiation passes through the glass into the inner space. With the climate of […]
