Which division handles HVAC?

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

Answer: (C)

HVAC is categorized as a mechanical system, and in the CSI MasterFormat used for project specifications, it is grouped under Division 23: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. This division covers the equipment, installation, and controls for climate control—think boilers, chillers, air handling units, ducts, and building automation—so it’s the place where HVAC work is specified and coordinated with other building systems. The other divisions correspond to different systems—Division 22 is Plumbing, Division 26 is Electrical, and Division 14 covers Conveying Systems—so they don’t house HVAC work.
