Abstract

In the summer of 2003 the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB, French Scientific and Technical Building Center) in Paris, France, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD USA collaborated to develop a service tool called CITE-AHU, an automated commissioning tool for air-handling units. The work was carried out as part of an IEA Annex 40 research project and included the retro-commissioning of a real building in Paris as a field test of the prototype. This document provides an overview of the retro-commissioning process, discusses how CITE-AHU can be used to facilitate this process, and presents results for two constant air volume air-handling units serving office and laboratory space.
