Some factors that must be considered for centralized HVAC system design are space for equipment, noise and vibration, and the properties of the building enclosure. HVAC equipment is generally very large and bulky. Proper space must be allotted for the HVAC equipment to avoid conflicts during construction. The equipment must also be strategically located and must be accessible for maintenance and renovation.
Each mechanical room is unique. To achieve the proper design, one must have a complete understanding of the application objectives, the clearances and access points required, limitations of the layout, and all applicable building codes.
In this 6-hr course, we will discuss the selection, layout, spatial planning, installation, and the removal and access requirements for primary heating and cooling equipment. The primary equipment discussed includes vapor compression and absorption chillers, cooling towers, air-cooled condensers, furnaces, boilers, water treatment, and associated electrical switchgear.
The course will be immensely useful during the conceptual phase of the project to architects, mechanical, electrical and HVAC engineers, contractors, facility managers, O&M, H&S personnel, and others who are involved in the design and construction of buildings.
A separate course covers the spatial guidance for “Air Distribution Equipment and Services.” It includes the air handling units, piping, ductwork, shafts, fire dampers, and terminal units. Although the general rules related to spatial planning of source components and distribution components are similar, the main difference is that the distribution services happen within the occupied areas of the building.
