Professional Air Balance: HVAC performance based solutions and design

Commissioning & Air Balancing

Commissioning is how you prove a facility does what it was designed to do. Our process tests, verifies, validates and documents every system, and air balancing is at its core: measuring and adjusting airflow until each space receives the air it was designed for.

Commission

The commissioning process

01

Commissioning plan

Scope, responsibilities, test procedures and acceptance criteria agreed up front.

02

Set-up & installation review

Verifying equipment is installed to specification before it is started.

03

Change control

Every deviation captured, reviewed and reflected in the record.

04

Pre-start-up & start-up

Structured procedures for bringing each system on line safely.

05

Air balancing

Testing, adjusting and balancing airflow and pressure relationships to design values.

06

Integrated systems testing (IST)

All systems exercised together, including power loss and failover scenarios.

Commission

Turnover

01

Operator training

Hands-on training so your staff can run what was built.

02

MOPs & SOPs

Methods of procedure and standard operating procedures written for your site.

03

As-built documentation

An accurate record of the systems as installed and tested.

Air balancing, explained

Design airflow, verified at every outlet.

Testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) measures the air actually delivered by fans, ducts and outlets, then adjusts dampers and drives until every space gets its design airflow and the right pressure relationships hold between rooms. It is the step that turns installed equipment into a system that performs, and the evidence that it does.
