  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CONTAMINATED DUCTS WITHIN AN INDOOR ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20240159412
    Abstract: An HVAC system that includes an air handling unit (AHU), indoor air quality (IAQ) sensors installed in one or more zones within an indoor environment, and a control device. The control device controls the IAQ sensors to measure a first set of IAQ values when air circulation to the one or more zones is turned off and controls the IAQ sensors to measure a second set of IAQ values when the air circulation to the one or more zones is turned on. The control device further compares the first set of measured IAQ values with the second set of measured IAQ values and detects at least one contaminated duct based on a result of the comparison. The control device further notifies, on a display screen or on a GUI of an application using a communication interface, a message indicating the at least one contaminated duct to a user.
