Seismic-Certiﬁed Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Equipment

Advantages of seismic pre-approval

Selecting certiﬁed or pre-approved equipment helps simplify the seismic code compliance for your building, whether it is a new construction or a modernization project. When your HVAC system is pre-certiﬁed or pre-approved for installation, you have multiple advantages:

Making your seismic certiﬁcations simpler and more streamlined

Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are essential building components that need to stay on line immediately after a seismic event, or earthquake. This requirement is especially critical for essential services buildings such as:

• Hospitals

• Fire stations

• Police stations

• Emergency shelters, such as schools or community centers

• Data centers

To keep these essential services operating after an earthquake, building codes require that owners and consulting engineers obtain seismic certiﬁcation of HVAC equipment.

• Lower costs to achieve seismic certiﬁcation

• Faster approvals

• Faster building occupancy

• Increased protection for your building investment

To make equipment selection and buying decisions easier, many types of Daikin McQuay HVAC equipment have been rigorously tested for compliance to both the International Building Code (IBC) seismic standards and to the California Ofﬁce of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) seismic standards.

We do our job on seismic certiﬁcation so you can do your job…faster

and with fewer hassles

• All Daikin McQuay seismic-compliant products have been analyzed, tested and certiﬁed by an independent

agency, experts in seismic analysis and design, as speciﬁed by the code.

• A certiﬁcate of compliance is available at the time of speciﬁcation and submittal for all products.

• All compliant products are shipped with a label of compliance, provided by the certifying agent for review by the inspecting authority.

• Product installation instructions clearly describe how to install the system in a manner supporting compliance with code requirements.
