What are some common mistakes to avoid when designing an HVAC system?

Common mistakes to avoid when designing an HVAC system include oversizing or undersizing equipment, inadequate duct sizing, and poor pipe layout. Additionally, engineers should avoid neglecting to consider factors such as building orientation, occupancy schedules, and internal heat gains when preparing load estimates. The Carrier System Design Manual provides guidance on practical design and layout of HVAC systems, and engineers should consult industry standards and local regulations to ensure safe and efficient system operation.
