How do I ensure that my HVAC system design meets local building codes and regulations?

To ensure that an HVAC system design meets local building codes and regulations, engineers should consult relevant codes, such as the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Mechanical Code (IMC). Additionally, engineers should consider factors such as system capacity, airflow requirements, and equipment selection to ensure compliance with local regulations. The Carrier System Design Manual provides guidance on practical design and layout of HVAC systems, but engineers should always consult local authorities to ensure compliance with specific regulations.
