What keeps you up at night? Is it your air handling units?
We’re not talking about how loud your aging unit with big belt-driven fans most certainly is. We’re referring to the fear of a fan failure creating a nightmare situation at the least opportune moment.
For many working with aging air handling units, the fear of the AHU fans failing and creating a catastrophic situation in a critical environment is very real.
Will they fail on the 4th of July? New Year’s Day? Right before an important event?
For hospitals, labs, and even office buildings, failure is not an option, yet so many buildings are operating old, poorly maintained air handling equipment running at a fraction of the required capacity. This is not acceptable, especially in the age of COVID-19.
When an air handler without N+1 redundancy fails, and there is no backup plan in place, this creates an all-hands-on-deck situation, complete with emergency meetings, expedited delivery fees, and lots of stress and anxiety. We’ve all been there, and it is not pleasant.

Contingency Planning: Essential for Business Continuity
Rare but impactful events such as power outages, natural disasters, or mechanical failures can wreak havoc on your facility and business. Facing such an emergency without a contingency plan can result in decreased production or service, lost customers and revenue, and loss of confidence by customers, investors, and other stakeholders. In fact, the stakes can be so high that it’s not uncommon for insurance companies to require a formal contingency plan to qualify for business continuity coverage.
The Evolution of Changeover Systems
Many light commercial buildings have traditionally used several single-zone, packaged rooftop units with thermostats—often because better systems were thought to be too complicated and/or too expensive to install. If “zoning” was desired in these buildings, a changeover bypass system was traditionally used; this system allowed a single rooftop unit to provide independent temperature control to several zones. However, it used a constant-speed supply fan and a centralized bypass damper, resulting in higher energy use and sound levels than other system alternatives.
