Viacheslav Landakov

I am a Mechanical Engineer specializing in HVAC system design, drafting, commissioning, and technical field work for commercial and residential buildings. My career combines deep engineering knowledge with hands-on HVAC technician experience, allowing me to design systems that are practical to install, service, and maintain.

Over the past several years, I have worked on projects ranging from small retail spaces and offices to complex multi-zone systems for schools. I also develop custom software tools for HVAC engineers, including a browser-based schematic ductwork design application.

Core Skills

• HVAC System Design – Load calculations, duct sizing, equipment selection, zoning strategies.
• Engineering Calculations – Airflow, pressure drop, heat transfer, psychrometric analysis.
• Drafting & Modeling – AutoCAD, Revit, and custom web-based design tools.
• Field Technician Skills – Equipment installation assistance, controls setup, preventive maintenance, refrigerant charging, and diagnostic troubleshooting.
• Commissioning & Testing – Airflow balancing, system performance verification, controls calibration.
• Standards & Codes – ASHRAE, California Title 24, and local building regulations.

Selected Work

• Designed duct layouts and equipment placement drawings for a commercial office renovation, achieving improved comfort and reduced fan energy consumption by 15%.
• Performed airflow balancing and commissioning for a new hospital HVAC system, ensuring compliance with ventilation requirements.
• Developed HVAC browser app allowing engineers to create schematic ductwork layouts with snapping, rotation, and calculation features.
• Produced AutoCAD shop drawings for multi-unit residential buildings with integrated ERV systems.
• Assisted in installation and testing of VRF and split systems, ensuring manufacturer guidelines were met.

Tools & Technologies

AutoCAD • Revit • Microsoft Excel (engineering calculations) • JavaScript (HVAC design app development) • .NET C# • AWS S3 Hosting • HVAC diagnostic tools (manifold gauges, anemometers, multimeters)

Approach

Every project is unique. I focus on energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and maintainability — delivering solutions that balance technical performance with practical installation methods. My dual perspective as both an engineer and technician ensures that my designs are optimized for real-world implementation.
