What are the deliverables in HVAC engineering 1

[Richard63]

Question: in the HVAC/R field, typically what do the deliverables from engineering companies look like? Please be as specific as you can.

For example, in my role as a mechanical engineer, I mostly do special machinery and product design for manufacturers. Most of the time the deliverables are usually;
1) a set of 3D CAD assembly and parts files with all detail drawings with a bill of materials, assembly and operation instructions, maybe motion simulations and FEA analysis or calculations when needed.
or 2) all of number 1) above along with the finished machine or prototype.
3) miscellaneous combinations of the above items plus techinical advising, project management, installation, recommendations and testing.

The closest thing to HVAC I've ever done is pneumatic conveying of paper trim, and the deliverable was the fan and duct sizing, along with simple 2D line drawings of the duct routing on a plant layout.

HVAC is divided into two major fields......
1. Design
2. Construction

In the design stage following are the deliverables....(i'll try to list most of them but they could be more...(

1. The complete set of design drawings including abrreviation and notes, typical details, Equipment schedules, Plans, Part Plans, sections, schematic risers (air side and water side), and controls diagram

2. The Bill of Quantity (which covers all the items to be installed/provided/constructed with their complete desciption of all the items. either quantified or as lump sum.

3. The complete specifications set which cover all the items covered. Each specs section must cover the standards and authorities to follow. With each item have to specify at least 5 manufactures qualifying for quality/standard needed.

4. The complete calculation report for the systems (Sometimes the iput/output both are required depending upon the client)

5. The Complete design report and if sustainaiblity is involved, a separate report of qualifying credits/points is required. This must be provided with certain calculation reports.

As far as the construction is concerned, following are the deliverables.

The complete set of construction/as-built drawings (shop drawings) including abrreviation and notes, typical details, Equipment schedules, Plans, Part Plans, sections, schematic risers (air side and water side), and controls diagram

2. The submittal for every equipment for approval to qualify the specs and size it is designed for.

3. Complete and detialed calculations including input/output report.

You have to be specific when you define deliverables.

It depends on the terms of the contract (and fee being paid) you have with the client - whether it is the building owner, construction manager, developer, etc.

At a minimum, the deliverable is whatever documents is deemed required to obtain a good bid from a contractor - typically some combination of drawings and specifications.

At a maximum, it could be what walz indicated.

I would include a PE stamp and cost estimate.
