Services
HVAC System Balancing
Our HVAC system balancing ensures optimal airflow distribution in commercial buildings. Technicians use precision instruments to adjust fans, ducts, and vents, achieving design specifications for temperature control and energy efficiency. This service extends equipment lifespan while reducing energy consumption by up to 30% through proper system calibration.
Fume Hood Testing
Critical for laboratories and controlled environments, our fume hood testing verifies containment performance and airflow velocity. Certified technicians conduct ASHRAE-compliant assessments to maintain safety standards, prevent contaminant exposure, and ensure compliance with OSHA regulations for research and healthcare facilities.
Retro Commissioning
We restore aging HVAC systems to peak performance through comprehensive retro commissioning. This process identifies inefficiencies in existing systems, optimizes control sequences, and implements energy-saving measures that typically reduce operating costs by 15-25% while improving occupant comfort.
Hydronic System Balancing
Specialized balancing of chilled water and heating systems ensures proper flow rates through coils and heat exchangers. Our technicians use digital flow meters to adjust pumps and valves, maintaining design temperatures while minimizing energy waste in commercial and institutional buildings.
Air Quality Certification
We provide NEBB-certified indoor air quality assessments for new construction and annual recertification. Our process verifies ventilation rates, pressure relationships, and filtration efficiency to meet ASHRAE standards and building code requirements for occupant health and safety.
