Materials and Workmanship Specification for the Mechanical Ventilation and Air Conditioning

2.28 VARIABLE AIR VOLUME BOXES

The casing shall be constructed of minimum 22 gauge galvanized steel, internally lined by 20
mm thick, 24 kg/m3 density fiber glass with perforated metalfacing. The lining and coating
shall comply with NFPA 90A and UL181.

All performance and sound data shall be rated, tested and certified under the AHRI Standard
880-89 Certification Program.

All variable air volume boxes shall bear the AHRI-880-89 seals.

The VAV terminal unit performance including controls shall be tested at the factory by the
VAV terminal manufacturer before shipping.

The units shall be supplied together with 240/24 V 20 VA transformers and shall be pressure
independent type.

The units shall be of the pressure independent type and capable of maintaining required air flow
set points at +5% of the VAV terminal unit’s capacity at any inlet pressure up to 750 Pa. Each VAV
terminal shall include a microprocessor based controller installed and wired at the factory as an
integral part of the assembly. The terminal controller shall control each function of the terminal
using closed-loop, Direct Digital Control (DDC) and specifically designed software algorithms.

The following control components shall be provided for each unit:

 Differential Pressure Transducer (Airflow Sensors)

 Leaving Air Temperature Sensor (for heating option)
 Space Temperature Sensor

The controller shall monitor the differential pressure signal from the air flow probe and compare
the resulting signal to a CFM (or l/s). Set point to determine the correct damper assembly position
to provide pressure independent control of the air passing through the terminal within + 5 % of set
point.

Sound power levels shall be rated and certified in accordance with the requirements of AHRI-880-
89 standard. The units shall be selected in accordance with the requirements detailed in the
equipment schedules and shall meet the design sound level in the space of NC 40.

The units shall be equipped with built-in battery back-up minimum 10 years life time without
replace the battery.

The units shall be supplied together with wall mounted thermostats and the thermostats shall be
able to monitor and adjust the room temperature. The thermostat shall send the signal to the VAV
controller to adjust the supply air flow rate to meet the room set point temperature. The thermostat
shall be the adjustable type and shall be capable of either manual adjustment or receiving a control
signal from a central controller (BMS).

The controller shall capable to communicate with the Building Management System (BMS) which
is open protocol.

The Nominated Contractor should submit certificate of the VAV terminal unit’s Performance and
Warranty including control to client representative for approval.
