The study compares several interconnected building-services strategies with different equipment, distribution routes and performance implications. The visuals needed to preserve technical logic while allowing the options to be compared quickly.
I built a consistent diagram framework for all three scenarios, using repeated building geometry, colour-coded flows and a shared family of technical icons. The sequence moves from the existing system through an alternative solution to a best-practice configuration.
A concise visual comparison that helps technical and non-technical audiences understand how each system works, where it improves performance and how the preferred solution integrates heat recovery.
