What We Do

Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing of Environmental Systems

ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers defines the three operations a TAB technician performs like this: 

  • Testing: Quantifying the performance of the system.
  • Adjusting: Regulating the fluid flow rate (both air and water), and the air patterns at the terminal equipment (e.g., change in fan speed, fine-tuning damper limits, throttling a pump).
  • Balancing:Proportioning flows within a distribution system (zones, branches, and terminals) according to specified design quantities. 

TAB technicians apply these three operations as part of the TAB process, which ASHRAE describes as checking and adjusting all of the buildings environmental systems to achieve the intent of the system designer. For this process, a TAB technician will: 

  • Balance air and water distribution.
  • Adjust the system as a whole to deliver the design quantities.
  • Take electrical measurements.
  • Verify the performance of all equipment and automatic control.
  • Measure sound and vibration levels.
