Total System Balance

Total System Balance is the process of Testing, Adjusting and Balancing HVAC systems and subsystems to perform at the design intent and operate at the optimum level. The process includes a review of the design documents, construction observation and a methodical approach to Testing, Adjusting and Balancing that yields verifiable results.

Services Offered and Provided as Specified

Air Balance

Air testing, adjusting and balancing is the procedure of measuring and adjusting the air flow of HVAC system resulting in proper operation and overall space comfort for the occupants.

Water Balance

Water testing, adjusting and balancing is the procedure of measuring and adjusting the water flow thru hot and chilled water coils to provide, in conjunction with air balancing an overall space comfort for the occupants.

Ultrasonic Water Balance

Ultra-Sonic water balancing is a method of balancing water systems using Ultrasonic Technology which is a non-intrusive method, when other methods cannot be used, or there are not any balancing ports or Circuit Setters available.

Duct Pressure Testing

Duct pressure testing is the procedure of testing the amount of air leakage in a specified air duct in order to identify and minimize the leakage for optimum performance of the HVAC System.

OR Isolation Room Medical Facilities Testing

Is the procedure of testing, adjusting and balancing operating rooms, isolation rooms, and other areas within a medical facility in order to ensure that air changes of each room and the pressure relationship with adjacent areas comply with the current regulations for the safety of the patients and the facility personnel.

Clean Room Balancing

Is the procedure of testing, adjusting and balancing clean room areas to the engineer’s design specifications, in order to achieve the intended clean room air changes, pressure relationships, and ISO Classifications according to Cleanroom Standards for the specified application.

Lab Hood Testing

Lab Hoods of various sizes are enclosures with adjustable vertical or horizontal front openings. The intent is to capture and exhaust dangerous fumes generated by hazardous material inside the enclosure before they reach the lab hood operators breathing zone. This is accomplished by exhaust fans attached to the hoods, that are adjusted to exhaust air, from the lab space through the hood opening, at a certain velocity, in order to keep any hazardous fumes from reaching the lab hood operators breathing zone. Testing and balancing of such hoods ensure that the design velocity at the design opening height, are achieved and maintained for the safety of the occupants.

Sound Testing

Sound (noise) is as important as temperature or humidity for the comfort of the occupants of a building. It is important to differentiate the natural background noise of an area from the noise that is created by the operating HVAC equipment in order to provide solutions for sound comfort to the occupants.

Restaurant Testing

Kitchen hood testing, smoke control and capture, fresh air supply, and HVAC control is very important for restaurant operation, workers and patrons. Correctly diagnosing problems and providing solutions will result in a comfortable and safe space for the personnel and the patrons, while maintaining a positively pressurized building and savings in energy costs.

HVAC System Survey Analysis

Existing building with older HVAC Systems, over years of replacements of equipment, repairs, maintenance or lack of, result in areas that are not balanced properly with cold and hot spots and an unhealthy environment. Surveying the HVAC Systems in such building by knowledgeable technicians will provide air analysis of each system and space recommendations for repairs, replacements and maintenance, resulting in restored comfort, a healthy working environment and savings in energy cost.

Controls Verification

Controls is an intricate part of HVAC for comfort and energy savings. Verifying that controls are operating as intended by the design engineer, and that the sequence of operation is followed, identifying flows and providing solutions, is a function of the Total system testing adjusting and balancing of a building.

Pre-Construction Plan Review

Review of the HVAC mechanical plans prior to construction, for possible suggestions or changes, specific to testing adjusting and balancing, to the original design in order to minimize or eliminate the need of later changes, due to omissions or errors resulting in fewer costly mechanical change orders during the construction phase.
