Performance-Based Specifications for AHUs
Performance-Based Specifications for AHUs
By Roger Howard, Member ASHRAE ASHRAE / 2005 / 5 pages
The demand for high-performance air-handling units (AHUs) isincreasing, primarily because of new building codes and standards.In the past, consulting engineers specified AHU constructionin an effort to obtain the operating performance they required.However, as this article will explain, construction-based specifi cationscan create cost and accountability problems. Today, engineerscan write performance-based specifications that can deliver lowercosts and greater manufacturer accountability.
