TAB technicians measure, adjust, and report air or water volume, pressures, and/or temperatures. Volumes are adjusted to meet engineered design requirements. Items not within the project design tolerances are noted.

Supply, make up air, and exhaust ventilation rates are tested, adjusted and reported. Kitchen and dish machine hoods are observed for capture and containment.

Duct integrity is a consideration of energy efficiency. When specified this additional test procedure may be added.

Examples of critical environment testing are a laboratory or medical procedural rooms. Measure and adjust air flow rates, air changes per hour, room pressurization, and directional air flow.The specific test procedures vary pending lab type and usage. Fume hoods testing and adjustment is frequently involved.

Typically performed on problematic HVAC systems or for energy conservation measures.

When listed these additional tests may be added to the typical test and balance procedures.

Stairwell pressurization and fire/ fire smoke damper testing, are examples of fire life safety system components. This may be performed as a separate additional service.
