Brent Hull examines how heating and cooling systems can be thoughtfully integrated into both historic homes and new construction without disrupting architectural integrity. The episode explores the balance between comfort, efficiency, and visual restraint—showing why mechanical systems should support a house rather than define it. Through real-world examples, Brent breaks down mechanical room organization, chiller systems, and traditional heating methods, along with modern solutions like the Unico system. By addressing scale, placement, and proportion, the episode demonstrates how well-designed HVAC can remain virtually invisible while preserving the timeless character of a home.
