AHU System for Ventilation for Big Building

Purpose of AHU

Ventilation: Supplies and circulates fresh air throughout the building.

Temperature Control: Regulates indoor temperature by heating or cooling the air.

Humidity Control: Maintains appropriate humidity levels for occupant comfort.

Design Considerations

Sizing: Proper sizing of the AHU based on the building’s square footage, occupancy, and intended use.

Airflow Rates: Calculate required airflow rates to ensure adequate ventilation.

Zoning: Consider zoning the system to control different areas of the building independently.

Energy Efficiency: Utilize energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) or heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) to minimize energy consumption.

Operational Steps

Installation: Position the AHU in a central location for optimal airflow distribution.

Regular Maintenance: Schedule routine inspections and maintenance, including filter changes and coil cleaning.

Monitoring: Use building management systems (BMS) to monitor performance and adjust settings as needed.

Benefits

Improved Air Quality: Enhanced filtration leads to healthier indoor environments.

Energy Savings: Efficient operation can reduce energy costs significantly.

Comfort: Provides consistent temperature and humidity control for occupants.

Applications

Commercial Buildings: Offices, shopping malls, and hotels.

Industrial Facilities: Manufacturing plants requiring specific environmental conditions.

Healthcare Facilities: Hospitals and clinics that need strict air quality control.
