Specifying commissioning for HVAC systems

               

The use of multipoint monitoring as a tool for commissioning buildings for IAQ.

One basic goal of the commissioning process is to make sure that the HVA C system is functioning as intended. In particular, it is intended that the HVAC system not only provide adequate ventilation for the building occupants but also achieve adequate pressurization of the occupied spaces to prevent the infiltration of unconditioned air. One technique for evaluating the performance of the HVAC system in these areas is to use continual, multipoint monitoring of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and dew point at selected locations in the building and the HVAC system.
