Type of monograph: Standard/Recommendation

Summary

One of the most important predictors of a building's energy efficiency is its HVAC system. There are a number of ways to measure the performance of HVAC systems. Energy efficiency ratings being one of the most common, but the airtightness of the equipment is obviously an important factor as well. Air that is not delivered to areas as specified in the building design is air that is not being used efficiently. This standard prescribes a method of test to determine the airtightness of forced-air HVAC equipment prior to field installation.
