Services
HVAC System Testing
Our comprehensive HVAC testing verifies system performance across commercial and healthcare facilities. Using advanced measurement tools, we assess airflow, pressure relationships, and temperature control to ensure compliance with design specifications. This service identifies inefficiencies and optimizes system operation for improved energy performance and occupant comfort.
Duct Leakage Testing
We conduct pressurization tests to identify air leakage in ductwork systems. This critical assessment helps reduce energy waste, improve indoor air quality, and ensure proper system operation. Our testing follows industry standards to quantify leakage rates and recommend corrective actions for optimal HVAC performance.
Healthcare Air Exchange
Specialized testing for healthcare facilities verifies proper air exchange rates and pressure relationships in critical environments. We ensure compliance with infection control standards while maintaining safe conditions for patients and staff. Our team provides annual compliance check-ups and troubleshooting for complex ventilation systems.
Control Systems Verification
We test building automation systems to confirm proper sequencing of operations and equipment functionality. This service ensures HVAC components work together efficiently while maintaining occupant comfort. Our documentation helps facility managers understand system performance and identify optimization opportunities.
Fume Hood Certification
Certified testing of laboratory and bio-safety fume hoods ensures proper containment and airflow performance. We verify capture efficiency, face velocity, and system response to changing room conditions. Annual re-certification maintains compliance with safety regulations while protecting laboratory personnel from hazardous exposures.
