Yet, once a building is handed over and occupied, a familiar pattern emerges: the system does not perform exactly as intended. Spaces are too hot or too cold, energy consumption is higher than expected, and operators struggle to maintain stable conditions without constant intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gap between design intent and operational reality is not a minor inconvenience-it is one of the most persistent and costly issues in the built environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe causes are rarely singular. They are layered across the entire lifecycle of a project: assumptions made during design, compromises during construction, limitations during commissioning, and operational practices that evolve independently of the original intent. Over time, these layers accumulate into a performance drift that distances the system from its design foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores that gap in depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not written to assign blame to designers, contractors, or operators. Instead, it aims to connect the dots between disciplines that too often work in isolation. HVAC systems are not static assets; they are dynamic systems influenced by people, behavior, maintenance, controls, and time. Understanding this interconnected reality is essential if we are to move from theoretical performance to actual performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe goal is simple: to bridge the divide between design and operation so that HVAC systems can finally perform as they were meant to.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47882798891159,"sku":"9798195563660","price":3287.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798195563660.webp?v=1781097140","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-gap-between-design-and-operation-in-hvac-9798195563660","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
