HVAC Controls Guide for Plan Examiners and Building Inspectors

The information in this guide will make it easier to understand, apply, and validate compliance with heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) control requirements found in building energy codes .HVAC controls are a key driver of building performance from both energy and comfort standpoints, the latter of which impacts productivity, sales, and the general success of the activities in the buildings. Ensuring compliance with HVAC control requirements in the energy codes can be a challenging task; controls can be difficult to identify on plans and their proper installation and functionality are a challenge to assess in the field. The guide addresses requirements defined by the 2009 and 2012 IECC and the 2007 and 2010 editions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1, which are common bases for codes adopted by state and local jurisdictions.
