Synopsis

HVAC system failures following building occupancy represent some of the most challenging and costly problems in modern construction and facility management. These failures not only result in significant financial losses but also compromise occupant comfort, productivity, and in some cases, health and safety.

This guide is designed for forensic engineers, building scientists, HVAC consultants, facility managers, and legal professionals who investigate, analyze, and resolve post-occupancy HVAC system failures. Drawing from decades of field investigations, case studies, and industry best practices, this book provides a systematic approach to identifying root causes, documenting failures, and implementing effective solutions.

The forensic investigation of HVAC failures requires a multidisciplinary approach that combines mechanical engineering principles, building science, construction practices, and investigative methodology. This guide bridges these disciplines to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding why HVAC systems fail and how to prevent future failures.
