Marine HVAC Design Firm

Hello All,


I have been pondering the idea of getting back into the marine industry and was hoping you all could provide me with some feedback. I am a licensed Mechanical P.E. who designs HVAC systems for extremely high-end homes (think the same clients who are buying yachts) along with commercial HVAC designs as well. In my previous life as an engineer, I worked in the marine industry as a NavArch/marine engineer. I did get my MEng (master of engineering) in Naval Architecture, but unfortunately, I never really got to use it as I had hoped. I have recently wanted to get back into the marine industry and thought the best way would be to use my experience as an HVAC engineer.


Is there room or even a demand in the market for a Marine HVAC Design firm that would cater to smaller yacht/boat builders and designers? Do most NavArch firms do the HVAC design in-house, or is it done by an outside HVAC firm (I can't remember how this worked at the NavArch firms I used to work at). Would anyone on this forum be interested in this type of service?



Thank you all in Advance.
