| Air & Water Balance: |
| Total System Balance is the process of testing, adjusting and balancing HVAC systems and subsystems to perform at the design intent and operate at the optimum level. The process includes a review of the design documents, construction observation and a methodical approach to testing and balancing that yields verifiable results. |
| |
| Indoor Environmental Testing: |
| Most indoor air quality (IAQ) problems are system related and can be traced to microbial contamination and/or poor ventilation. American Air Balance Company will conduct a basic IAQ investigation to identify the source(s) and recommend appropriate remediation of IAQ problems. |
| |
| Cleanroom Certification: |
| Cleanroom Testing Engineers test and certify cleanrooms and other controlled environments in accordance with industry standards and practices. American Air Balance Company is a member of the Controlled Environment Testing Association. |
| |
| Life Safety Testing: |
| Fire and smoke control systems are tested and verified in accordance with local regulations and codes. |
| |
| Hood Certification: |
| Proper testing and certification of fume hoods and biological safety cabinets is crucial for a safe environment. Total flow quantities, both exhaust and supply, as well as face velocities, are adjusted in order to achieve effective performance of the hood exhaust systems. |
| |
| Controls Verification: |
| Controls are set to a proper fixed mode to prevent any changes during the balancing and proper operation is verified. |
| |
| Pre-Construction Plan Review: |
| This service will assist in determining the balance ability of the system, thus reducing the time required for balancing and contributing to more efficient and economical system performance. |
| |
| Functional Performance Testing: |
| Conducted during the acceptance phase of commissioning to verify that systems are operating as intended in all modes and conditions. |
