The Air Conditioning Contractors of America Educational Institute (ACCA-EI) Standards Task Team (STT) has announced an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) public review period for its BSR/ACCA 5 QI -201x, “HVAC Quality Installation Specification” as a revised industry standard.

Duct leakage, refrigerant undercharge or overcharge, low indoor airflow, and oversized equipment with undersized ductwork have the most potential to significantly degrade equipment efficiency. 

ACCA has announced the availability of a new report that the association says confirms that HVAC equipment requires a quality installation (QI) in order to perform at rated efficiency. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report found that substantial equipment efficiency is lost due to design and installation deficiencies.
