Notes

  • Typical setpoint for VAV systems is 1.0-2.0 inWC
  • ASHRAE Guideline 36 recommends static pressure reset based on VAV box damper positions
  • Sensor location at 2/3 point of the longest duct run is the industry standard
  • Low duct static with fan at full speed may indicate duct leakage or obstruction
