HVAC System Performance Studies
AHU Performance Assessment — Airflow, Temperature & HVAC Efficiency Evaluation
Field-measured AHU performance assessment — airflow, temperature, static pressure, fan power and chilled-water performance — to identify exactly where your AHU is underperforming and why.
What This Assessment Covers
An AHU performance assessment measures how the air-handling unit is actually performing against its required operating conditions.
It's particularly useful where cooling performance has deteriorated, fan power is increasing, filters require frequent attention, or the HVAC system is consuming more energy than expected.
Symptoms That Indicate Degraded Performance
- High fan power consumption
- Insufficient cooling at user locations
- High static pressure
- Frequent filter replacement
- Low chilled-water delta-T
- AHUs operating continuously
- Uneven temperature conditions
What You Get From the Study
Common Findings
AHU performance can deteriorate because of excessive airflow, high system resistance, filter pressure drop, inefficient fan operation, poor chilled-water conditions or inappropriate operating schedules. The assessment identifies which of these — or which combination — is affecting your AHU specifically.
Who This Is For
HVAC heads, facility managers, utility managers and energy managers in pharmaceutical plants, hospitals, hotels, commercial buildings, cleanrooms and process facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you assess only the AHU fan?
No. Where relevant, airflow, fan performance, filters, temperature conditions and chilled-water performance are reviewed together.
Can an AHU assessment identify chiller-related issues?
Yes. AHU operating conditions and chilled-water performance are interconnected and can influence overall HVAC efficiency.
Is this suitable for pharmaceutical facilities?
Yes. The assessment can be adapted to the specific environmental and operating requirements of pharmaceutical and controlled-environment facilities.
Benchmark: AHU performance
Key indicators: Airflow • Static pressure • Fan power • Supply-air temperature • Chilled-water ΔT
The objective is to maintain the required environmental conditions with the minimum practical energy input.
