Keep resident comfort and running cost in your control, with the HVAC delivered by one trusted partner.
HiiLIFE designs heating, ventilation, cooling and hot-water systems across your development. Designed to meet new-build regulations and be maintained for the life of the asset.
Maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the year, and ensuring hot-water doesn't run out are critical for any build-to-rent development.
Get the design stage right
The new Future Homes Standard is here, and it means all new schemes need to adjust how they manage heating. If your HVAC design is wrong, you're residents will quickly find out.
Overheating is a design issue
Airtight, well-insulated buildings mean overheating is now a regulated parameter. We factor this into all our designs or retrofits.
Resident comfort & renewals
Resident comfort has a big impact on whether a resident decides to move. If a flat is too hot, or too cold, you'll quickly find residents moving on.
We engineer with market-leading equipment brands.

Developer walkthroughWhat our clients are saying.
“They help us design, they help us execute, they know what we are after. They help us design spaces efficiently in the way we wanted to really perform.”
“The main benefit of HiiLIFE is a lot of companies are very specific in one area, so you’ll have an AV provider, a climate provider, a white goods provider. We like working with them because they deliver a one-stop shop service for construction and also really easy to project-manage with them.”
