Full Description

Extensive research in the field of fault detection and diagnosis has produced useful tools and techniques that have been applied to continuously operating building HVAC systems. A few researchers have applied some of these to commissioning of new buildings. This paper reports on a project that adapted or developed models of air-handling unit components and controls and combined them into an automated functional testing tool. Operation of the tool is demonstrated in testing a real air-handling unit.
