Abstract

In the bid to increase energy efficiency and cost effectiveness in buildings with distributed heating and cooling loads, the use of variable speed pumping and two port control of room terminal devices has produced systems within which the pressures vary dynamically. In collaboration with industry, BSRIA has written this test method for Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs), including a sample test report.
