HVAC (definition)

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) is a system that combines components for heating, ventilation and air conditioning in buildings. It is designed to create comfortable indoor conditions, control air quality and maintain optimal temperature depending on the season and user needs.

HVAC system components:

1. Heating — ensures the maintenance of heat in the building by generating and distributing heat. This may include boilers, heat pumps, radiators or underfloor heating.
2. Ventilation — provides a constant exchange of air in the room to maintain freshness and air quality. Ventilation systems can be natural or forced, using ventilation devices and air ducts.
3. Air Conditioning — controls the temperature and humidity in the room during the warm season. This includes air conditioning systems that provide cooling and air decompression.

Main functions of the HVAC system:

• Comfort — creating comfortable conditions for living and working, including maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels.
• Energy efficiency — minimizing energy consumption while ensuring the necessary conditions inside the building.
• Health and Safety — monitoring air quality and preventing the accumulation of harmful substances, bacteria and dust in rooms.

Application of HVAC system:

HVAC systems are used in residential, commercial, industrial and public buildings around the world. They are a necessary element of modern construction and provide not only comfortable conditions, but also reduced operating costs and improved resistance of buildings to climate change.
