| AIR BALANCING |
About Air Test and Balance: |
Air testing and balancing is a process that measures and adjusts the supply air distribution of a given HVAC system. The purpose of testing and balancing an HVAC system is to supply each conditioned zone with the precise amount of supply air required to offset a given heat gain (or loss). |
This process is typically performed after an HVAC system has been installed. The amount of airflow into each zone is determined from the mechanical design plans. However, air testing and balancing is also performed in response to certain cases of occupant thermal discomfort. If occupant thermal discomfort exists in a building with a properly sized and balanced HVAC system, fine tuning adjustments to supply registers may be necessary to satisfy all occupants. |

Duct Leakage Assessment: |
A duct leakage assessment is a process that quantifies the total amount of duct leakage throughout a given HVAC system. Total duct leakage is quantified by pressurizing a duct system to a known pressure and measuring the rate at which the pressure reduces. |
