Services
Air Balance
Our air balance service ensures optimal airflow distribution in commercial HVAC systems. Engineers use precision instruments to measure and adjust air volumes, maintaining proper pressure relationships and ventilation rates. This improves energy efficiency while meeting ASHRAE standards for indoor air quality and thermal comfort.
Water Balance
We optimize hydronic system performance through comprehensive water balance testing. Our technicians measure flow rates and temperature differentials across chilled water systems, ensuring proper distribution to HVAC coils. This maximizes cooling efficiency while preventing equipment strain in commercial facilities.
Sound Testing
Our acoustic testing identifies noise sources in mechanical systems. Using calibrated sound level meters, we measure decibel levels and vibration patterns to diagnose issues. This helps maintain acceptable noise levels in sensitive environments like hospitals and laboratories while ensuring code compliance.
Smoke Management
We verify smoke control system performance through specialized testing. Our team measures pressure differentials and airflow patterns in stairwells and egress paths, ensuring compliance with NFPA 92 standards. This critical safety testing helps maintain life safety systems in high-rise buildings.
Fume Hood Testing
Our fume hood certification ensures laboratory safety compliance. We measure face velocity, containment performance, and airflow stability using smoke visualization techniques. This protects personnel from hazardous exposure while maintaining proper ventilation in research and healthcare facilities.
Questions
What HVAC systems do you test and balance?
We work with commercial HVAC systems including VAV, constant volume, chilled beams, and dedicated outdoor air systems in hospitals, laboratories, and office buildings.
Are your technicians certified?
All field engineers hold AABC-certified Test and Balance Professional credentials with specialized training in HVAC, acoustics, and laboratory safety protocols.
How does test and balance improve energy efficiency?
Properly balanced systems reduce equipment run time by 15-30% through optimized airflow and water distribution while maintaining occupant comfort requirements.
Do you provide commissioning services?
Yes, our sister company RSACx provides full commissioning services for new construction and major renovation projects since 2009.
What standards do you follow?
We adhere to AABC, ASHRAE, SMACNA, and NFPA standards including NFPA 92 for smoke control and OSHA laboratory safety guidelines.
How often should systems be re-balanced?
We recommend re-testing every 3-5 years or after major system modifications to maintain optimal performance and compliance.
