The majority of the work performed by the TAB consists of testing, measuring, and determining performance benchmarks. Among the most important examples of these operations are determining the air and hydronic volumetric flow rates, determining the level of heat transfer performance, and modifying the air exchange and ventilation rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TAB? TAB stands for testing, adjusting and balancing of your environmental systems and compressors. The testing part includes the use of specialized equipment to take precise measurements of how your system is operating. 

Air balancing is a method of testing your heating and cooling system to spot any problems that are causing uneven airflow or negative air pressure. Once identified, these problems can be corrected so every room gets the amount of air it needs.

Use tabs to alternate between views within the same context, not to navigate to different areas. This is the single most important point, because staying in place while alternating views is the reason we have tabs in the first place. 

The key to a comfortable and efficient space is the design and function of a building's HVAC systems. The testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of the systems is what ensures they are functioning properly.
