FDD for projects with large HVAC and refrigeration capacity For total project installed capacity of either cooling systems, heating systems, or refrigeration systems exceeding 7,200 kBtu/hr (600 tons or 2,110 kW), provide a remotely accessible FDD system that addresses at least 60% weighted by capacity of:

• Air handling equipment, AND

• Large hydronic or commercial refrigeration equipment (chillers, boilers, etc.).

The FDD system must include the following functionality:

• Perform smart analytics and visually present FDD data

• Direct link from reported fault to view relevant trend data

• Fault sorting and filtering

• Exporting of fault reports (summary reports and detailed individual faults)

• Data historian capable of storing critical trend data for at least three years
