Which division covers HVAC?

• A. Division 23
• B. Division 22
• C. Division 26
• D. Division 14

Answer: (A)

HVAC is treated as a mechanical system in the CSI MasterFormat, so it falls under Division 23. This division covers the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment and the systems that distribute it—things like boilers, chillers, air handling units, ductwork, fans, piping related to the HVAC loop, and the control systems that manage temperature, humidity, and air quality. It’s distinct from plumbing, which is Division 22 and deals with water supply, waste, and vent piping; and from electrical, which is Division 26 and covers power, wiring, and electrical controls. Division 14 covers conveying systems like elevators and escalators. So the work of designing and installing HVAC goes in Division 23.
