Hey guys just wanted to know what the differnce bewtween a MUA and a AHU.

I was at a job and there where one of each beside each other.One servers one wing on 3 different floors and the other unit servers a few offices and some common space.

Thx in advance

AHU - air handling unit - basicly the air side of air conditioning or heating
MAU - make-up air unit - basicly an AHU that uses outside air
instead of return air. Usually to replace air that is being exhausted, ie kitchens,bathrooms,labs etc....It's designed to keep slight positive pressure in the building.

Did I answer your question?
