Sequence of operations
A written description of how equipment and controls are intended to respond under different operating conditions.
Why it matters
The sequence connects design intent with programming and testing. Equipment can be installed correctly yet perform poorly if the controls implement different logic.
In practice
A project example
A test checks whether outside-air dampers and heating stages respond as the approved sequence requires.
