Abstract :
This paper presents the performance of Air Handling Unit (AHU) system at Engineering Complex (formally S&T Complex), University Teknologi MARA Shah Alam Selangor. HVAC system of Engineering Complex consists of chillers, compressors, motors, pumps, cooling tower, ice cell, air handling unit (AHU) and also fan coil unit (FCU). This study focus on AHU system and describes the result of the operation of the AHU system. The data obtained were observed and analyzed to measure the performance by comparing the quality of the supply air, the return air of the AHU and room temperature in certain duration. A good operation and maintenance plan of AHU is the main success to minimize energy consumption. Due to that, the recommended guideline for AHU performance has been introduced to provide thermal comfort with energy efficiency at Engineering Complex, UiTM.
