AHU stands for air handling unit. basically it's a pump room that distributes cooled air from the plant room to each floor. plant room is not efficient enough to send cool air to every part of the building. so it will be sent to AHUs as main distribution points for each floor.
there will be ducting coming out of the AHU running through the ceiling (or under the floor), normally covered in silver/aluminium foils. u can see this if u open up the false ceiling in office buildings or even retail shops in shopping complexes that bares their ceilings.
so the AHU doesnt do anything to cool the building. it's just a distributor. in winter, it can be used to handle warm air as well.
thank you.. i used to work as HVAC engineer before but never get involved with AHU.. only its concept.... there will be ducting coming out of the AHU running through the ceiling (or under the floor), normally covered in silver/aluminium foils. u can see this if u open up the false ceiling in office buildings or even retail shops in shopping complexes that bares their ceilings.
