Pressure
Ventilation
68°F (20°C) and 75°F (25°C)
30% relative humidity (RH) and 60% RH
A slightly positive pressure to reduce
outside air infiltration.
Rooms typically have several
complete air changes per hour
Diagram of mechanical system on the blackboard
Where?
4
Mechanical Room: Boilers, chillers, pumps, heat exchangers…
Air Handling Units (AHUs): heat, cool, humidify, dehumidify, ventilate, filter and
distribute the air.
Room Controls: thermostats and Variable Air Volume (VAV) boxes

In the mechanical room

Boiler
Chiller

Also to radiators, terminal reheat, domestic hot water.

Where does air come from and go to?
AHU
10
Damper
Heating/Cooling Coil
Fan
Sensor
Filter
What’s in an AHU?
Pictures from https://rfd-training.tac.com/docs/HVAC.pdf
AHU - Economizer
11
Economizer mode: Using outside air for cooling rather than mechanical cooling.
Linked
Minimum in summer
More outside air in winter
55°F

Why before the cooling coil?

VAV
14
Two variables – Temperature & Air Volume
damper
The box you can see in
the hallway.
IF temperature too high
First reduce reheat till fully closed
Then increase air volume
IF temperature too low
First reduce air volume till minimum
Then start reheat

The Real World
Any difference? Anything wrong?
52°F
18
The Real World
52°F
Chilled water is still used when outside air is far below 52F
Temperature increased after humidification.
Sensor error.
Separate control caused counteraction.
What we have learned?
19
What’s in the mechanical rooms.
What happens in air handling unit.
How VAV works.
What can happen in the real world.
The system that ensures the thermal comfort.
Thanks!
