HVAC System Engineering Assessment

HVAC System Engineering Assessment
It is highly recommended that in addition to an HVAC
cleanliness inspection, a complete engineering
assessment of the design and condition of the entire
HVAC system be considered depending on the
conditions that exist in the project. This is especially
important if temperature and/or relative humidity
conditions cannot be maintained within the spaces in
compliance with the requirements of ASHRAE
Standards 62.1 or 62.2; if temperatures, relative humidity
or airflow varies between different areas of the building;
or, if the mechanical components are not in good
condition and/or repair. There are four primary reasons
this HVAC System Engineering Assessment is important
to the success of a remediation project:
• The original system design may not have been
adequate to maintain optimal indoor environmental
(or psychrometric) conditions in the building;
• Expansions, renovations or changes of use of the
original space may have rendered the HVAC system
