1108 The Facility Files

The document summarizes an inspection of an air handling unit (AHU) on the roof of a hospital building. It was installed in 2000 and has a capacity of 15,400 cubic feet per minute. The inspection notes that the unit is past its expected useful service life of 20 years but is otherwise in good working condition. It finds that the unit can be readily replaced or retrofitted to be more energy efficient.
