The proposed project will develop a comprehensive acceptance test procedure that determines whether air distribution systems in new buildings are installed properly and operating in an energy efficient manner. New methods for measuring airflow in ducts and for measuring the amount of outside air distributed to indoor spaces will also be developed, and are used as part of the procedure. The approach developed in Phase I is to measure critical airflow, static pressure, fan speed, temperature, and humidity parameters and to compare the measured values with design expectations and equipment manufacturer's test data supplied by the mechanical design engineer. Ranges of acceptable performance will be established along with criteria for accepting or rejecting the system. The procedures are expected to provide empirical means for mechanical systems acceptance and to diagnose problems with equipment, installation, and testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB).
