HVAC system efficiency, sound levels, and human comfort are all influenced by system airflow. Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) of an HVAC system is a useful process of measuring and regulating the amount of airflow at each area of the building.
Balancing is essential for any HVAC system to perform as per plans and expectations. It is an overall health check for your HVAC system and helps to ensure that you are providing the building occupants with a comfortably conditioned space at the lowest energy cost possible.
A well-balanced system will ensure the right amounts of air are delivered to the right places, at the right temperature, and humidity, and at the right time while minimizing the distribution losses. To achieve this, it is important that the air distribution system and duct designs are planned and installed in such a way that the balancing and the measuring of airflow are possible and that this work can be done accurately at minimum cost. TAB requires the services of specialized contractors who hold a professional certification to perform the measurements and adjustments on the HVAC systems.
In this 7-hr course, we will discuss why balancing an HVAC system is so important, why systems become unbalanced, what the balancing process entails and more. This course will help you to understand the TAB process and interpret the certified ventilation/balance report information. Anyone with an interest in efficient operation of commercial HVAC systems will benefit from a working knowledge of TAB.
