Mechanical Systems

• Mechanical systems are a critical component of high-performance buildings, providing thermal comfort and good indoor air quality in the most energy-efficient manner.
• To reach higher system performance, mechanical system design begins with conceptual planning decisions and continues through equipment and system design and selection, commissioning and education.
• High-performance mechanical systems don't happen by chance. The design process follows a logical order, which starts with clearly defined performance requirements.
• A checklist of steps for high-performance mechanical design also can help track progress on individual projects.
