Variable Air Volume Terminals (VAV)
Certification Program AHRI’s globally recognized and industry respected certification program helps manufacturers sell more products, win bids, and comply with government requirements. Certify products with AHRI and stand out from the crowd.
Related Standard Products in the VAV certification program Program Highlights are tested to AHRI Standard 885, Procedure Participants based in 8 countries for Estimating Occupied Space Sound Levels across 3 continents in the Application of Air Terminals and Air Only certification program to Outlets and AHRI Standard 880 (I-P)-2011, conduct sound testing Performance Rating of Air Terminals. Each test conducts a verification of model construction for Program Scope insulation type and metal gauge This program applies to 50 Hz and 60 Hz Related standard includes optional Production Model Variable Air Volume published ratings for energy Terminals, as defined in Section 1.2 of consumption of series and parallel fan-power terminals The AHRI Certification Program the VAV Operations Manual, and used in is a voluntary program, non-residential air distribution systems administered and governed which provide control of air volume and/ by the Air-Conditioning, or air temperature by one (1) or more of Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI), which ensures the following means and may include a that various types of heating, fan: Certified Ratings ventilation, air conditioning, Fixed or adjustable directional vanes; The following certification program ratings refrigeration, and water heating products perform Pressure dependent volume dampers are verified by test: according to manufacturers’ or shutoff valves (including air induction Primary Airflow, SCFM [m3/s]; published claims.
