Keeping your building’s environment in an optimal, comfortable condition while simultaneously minimizing operating costs is a delicate balancing act. We refer to this act as “environmental balancing.”

It only can be achieved when your building’s HVAC and hydronic systems are correctly calibrated.

The three major steps in balancing HVAC and hydronic systems are referred to as TAB, standing for:

• Testing: This step involves the measurement of temperatures, pressures, air and water quantities, velocities, rotational speeds, and electrical characteristics for an overall evaluation of system functionality. Specialized, carefully calibrated tools are required.

• Adjusting: This fine-tuning process involves setting balancing devices to their proper settings. These devices include dampers, valves, fans, pumps, thermostats and pressure controllers.
• Balancing: In the final balancing step, system fluid flows are regulated to create the desired airflow speed.

Energy Transfer Solutions, LLC is proud to be National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) Certified in Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing of Environmental Systems. Established in 1971, NEBB is the premier international certification association for firms that deliver high performance building system.

Certification establishes that a company:

• Meets stringent TAB compliance requirements.
• Documents and records its responsible procedures
• Owns a complete set of the instruments needed for sophisticated fine-tuning techniques.
• Has employees certified with the NEBB who have completed essential education and training and have passed comprehensive examinations for each TAB discipline.
• Assures these employees will continue to adhere to new education requirements in related fields.
• Has a reputation for integrity and responsible performance.
