Frequently Asked Questions

Have Question? We are here to help

What is HVAC testing and balancing?

HVAC testing and balancing (TAB) is the process of measuring, adjusting, and verifying air and water flow in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to ensure they meet design specifications and operate efficiently.

Why is testing and balancing important?

Proper TAB ensures:

  • Optimal system performance
  • Energy efficiency
  • Indoor air quality
  • Compliance with design and regulatory standards
  • Reduced operational costs and occupant complaints
What are the main steps in the TAB process?
  1. Review design documents and system specifications
  2. Inspect installed equipment and controls
  3. Measure airflow and water flow rates
  4. Adjust dampers, valves, and controls
  5. Verify system performance against design criteria
  6. Document results and provide a final TAB report
What standards govern HVAC testing and balancing?
  • NEBB (National Environmental Balancing Bureau)
  • AABC (Associated Air Balance Council)
  • TABB (Testing, Adjusting and Balancing Bureau)
  • ASHRAE Standard 111 – Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing of Building HVAC Systems
  • SMACNA TAB Manual – Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association
Who performs testing and balancing?

Certified TAB professionals or firms with credentials from NEBB, AABC, or TABB (Testing, Adjusting and Balancing Bureau) perform this work. 

When should testing and balancing be performed?

TAB should be conducted:

  • After HVAC system installation
  • During commissioning of new buildings
  • After major renovations or retrofits
  • As part of ongoing maintenance or energy audits

 

What systems are typically balanced?
  • Air systems: Supply, return, and exhaust airflows
  • Hydronic systems: Chilled water, hot water, and condenser water loops
How long does the TAB process take?

The duration depends on system complexity, building size, and accessibility. A small commercial system may take a few days, while large facilities (e.g., hospitals or data centers) may require weeks.

What is included in a TAB report?

A comprehensive TAB report includes:

  • Equipment and system data
  • Measured vs. design values
  • Adjustments made
  • Deficiencies or issues found
  • Recommendations for corrective actio
Can TAB improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Proper balancing reduces energy waste by ensuring fans and pumps operate at optimal levels, minimizing over-pressurization, and improving temperature control.

Is TAB required by code or regulation?

  • In many jurisdictions, TAB is required by:

    • IECC (International Energy Conservation Code)
    • ASHRAE 90.1
    • Local building codes
    • LEED and other green building certifications
  •  
Does Aero Performance Group provide certified TAB services?

Yes. Aero Performance Group provides certified testing and balancing services in accordance with TABB, NEBB, and ASHRAE standards, supporting healthcare, commercial, and mission-critical environments.
