VAV Boxes
These are the standards in SynC Standards that cover VAV Boxes. Each one is a complete, plain-language specification: the scope it applies to, the requirements that govern it, and a structured equipment datasheet listing the values a project has to decide, with the standards each is verified against. All of it is written and maintained by SynC, free to read without an account, and published under CC BY 4.0.
A standard usually carries several topics, so most of the entries below also appear under neighbouring subjects. The topics each one carries are listed on its own page.
Standards
- Air Terminal Units
Factory-fabricated air terminal units that meter primary air from a central air system into an individual thermal zone in commercial, institutional, healthcare, and industrial buildings. Covers single-duct, dual-duct, and bypass metering arrangements; variable-volume and constant-volume airflow control; pressure-independent and pressure-dependent control basis; parallel and series fan sections; hot water, steam, and electric reheat with their valves, actuators, and safety devices; casing construction and acoustic treatment; primary damper and actuator; primary airflow sensing; radiated and discharge sound; the zone controller, zone sensor, and building automation interface; factory testing; installation; and field airflow, functional, and acoustic verification.
