HVAC equipment schedule to Excel.
An HVAC equipment schedule is the building services register of every air-handling, heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment item on a project. One row per equipment tag carries the type (AHU, RTU, VAV, FCU, EF, SF, CHW, BLR, CT, CRAC, CRAH), service area, supply CFM, return or exhaust CFM, heating and cooling capacity, external static pressure (ESP), motor horsepower, voltage, refrigerant designation (R-410A, R-32, R-454B, R-1234ze, R-744, R-717), BAS control reference, manufacturer, and model. ASHRAE 34 refrigerant safety classification (A1, A2L, A3, B2L) ties to the refrigerant tag for the mechanical-room ventilation review.
Upload an HVAC equipment schedule, a mechanical drawing set, or a vendor submittal binder and extract every air handler, rooftop unit, VAV, fan coil, exhaust fan, chiller, boiler, and cooling tower into a structured spreadsheet. Service area, capacity, heating and cooling duty, ESP, motor HP, voltage, and BAS control reference all read into the columns the BAS controls integrator expects.
| Family | Primary capacity | Critical secondary fields |
|---|---|---|
| AHU + RTU | Supply CFM + cooling tons + heating MBH | ESP + motor HP + refrigerant |
| VAV + FCU | Supply CFM + reheat coil capacity | Service area + BAS controller |
| EF + SF | Exhaust / supply CFM | ESP + motor HP + control sequence |
| CHW + BLR + CT | Cooling or heating capacity | Pump flow + design dT + refrigerant |
| CRAC + CRAH | Cooling tons + sensible heat ratio | N+1 / 2N redundancy + DDC controller |
Fields extracted.
Every column the hvac equipment schedule typically carries is read and shaped into a structured row. Missing fields stay blank, never invented.

Common questions.
Does Tagsight handle NEN Dutch HVAC tag conventions?
Yes. NEN Dutch HVAC dialects and KKS-style hierarchical tagging read as drawn. The standards corpus includes ASHRAE 90.1, SMACNA, BACnet (ASHRAE 135), and NEN; HVAC drawings route through the same pipeline that handles process plants.
Can the BAS DDC point list filter out of the equipment schedule?
Yes. Every HVAC equipment row carries the BAS point list as a sub-block: AI for temperature and pressure sensors, AO for dampers and valves, DI for status and alarm, DO for command and reset. The DDC point list filters out as a separate sheet sized for BACnet object instance assignment in the BAS configuration tool.
Does this work on datacenter cooling drawings (CRAC, CRAH, in-row)?
Yes. Datacenter cooling equipment (CRAC, CRAH, in-row coolers, RDHX, chimney enclosures) extracts alongside conventional commercial HVAC. The schedule preserves redundancy notation (N+1, 2N) and chilled-water vs DX distinction; the BAS point list captures the per-unit cooling controller scope.
What about refrigerant designation for new low-GWP refrigerants?
R-410A, R-32, R-454B, R-1234ze, R-513A, R-744 (CO2), and R-717 (ammonia) all preserve as drawn. ASHRAE 34 safety classification (A2L, A1, A3, B2L) ties to the refrigerant tag so the safety-classification subset filters out for the mechanical-room ventilation review.
