Testing, Changing, and Balancing is an acronym that stands for Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing, and it refers to the process of monitoring and adjusting the flow of air and water to satisfy design criteria. The TAB process involves employing test instruments, sensors, and monitors to check suitable temperatures, airflow, and other parameters inside the HVAC system. This is done in order to complete the TAB process. In order to ensure that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are optimized for occupant comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and manufacturing processes, testing, adjusting, and balancing is a crucial step for complex air and hydronic systems found within buildings and throughout campuses.

Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) at the federal, state, and municipal levels have expanded their FSD testing code enforcement efforts beyond the healthcare industry to include the following:

Testing for FSD in the states of Oregon, Idaho, and Washington

Leak testing and investigations on the pressurized and ducted systems

The verification of the temperature control system

The year 2003 marked the beginning of NorthWest Engineering Service Inc.'s work on FLS systems. Because of our extensive experience in Commissioning (Cx) and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB), we are in a truly unique position to carry out audit surveys of HVAC systems, identify and functionally test all Fire Smoke Dampers, and offer documentation to meet the standards of the AHJ.

Local authorities, in addition to national organizations such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Code Council (ICC), are the ones responsible for defining the standards and norms that apply to FLS systems. The owners of the facilities are the ones who are responsible for testing their systems at the right intervals and ensuring that they have the proper paperwork to demonstrate that their systems are functional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing is a vital step for complex air and hydronic systems within buildings and throughout campuses to ensure HVAC systems are optimized for occupant comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and manufacturing processes.

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. 

First, locate the closest supply air duct to your indoor AC unit. Then use a thermometer, even a refrigerator thermometer will work, and tape it just inside. Let your Air Conditioning run for about ten minutes then check and record the temperature.
