Chapter hvac engineering Fundamentals: Part 1 Introduction

13.3.6
Schedules
Equipment schedules with tabular equipment performance informa-
tion should be on the drawings rather than in the specifications. Ex-
perience shows that the installer often doesn’t have (or doesn’t refer
to) the specifications. After the job is completed, the drawings are al-
most always available while specifications have a way of disappearing.
Equipment schedules then become a valuable resource for the owner.
Some design offices include full equipment specifications on the draw-
ings, but this seems to take more document preparation time and may
make it more difficult to coordinate drawings and specifications if
changes are needed.
