Abstract : HVAC is Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC systems control the indoor environment (temperature, humidity, airflow, and air filtering) to condition the air to a preferred temperature and relative humidity. The term HVAC means the entire air system of our living space which determines the indoor air quality.
The term HVAC is often used interchangeably with AC, but they are quite different. AC stands for air conditioning, which is the process of cooling and dehumidifying the air in a room or building. An HVAC system, on the other hand, stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. It combines the AC with other systems to provide a more comprehensive climate control solution.
HVAC provides comfort for people, maintains an effective environment for surroundings, and allows humans to exist under adverse conditions, and HVAC systems are very much required for critical areas like control rooms, electronic equipment rooms, battery rooms, workshop areas, etc.
