Plant HVAC
Plant HVAC is a centralised system that generates heating, cooling, or both distributed throughout a building to meet its thermal requirements. A typical HVAC plant could include components such as boilers, chillers, towers, heat exchangers, pumps, and other equipment that produce exchange or move thermal energy. It is connected to the rest of the building through a network of pipes (for hydronic systems) or ducts (for air systems).
