What is AHUs?

AHUs (Air Handling Units) are central air conditioning systems that condition and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. An AHU takes in outside air, conditions it, and delivers it as supply air to the building. The conditioned air is then circulated back to the AHU. They are commonly used in large commercial and industrial buildings.
