- Air leakage measurement using a calibrated orifice plate
- Verification of measured vs. allowable leakage
- Testing in accordance with project requirements
- Detailed duct leakage test reports
How We Work
Our TAB Process
A systematic approach following NEBB procedural standards ensures thorough, accurate results on every project.
Project Review
We review design documents and coordinate with the project team to understand system design intent before mobilizing.
Field Testing
Certified technicians perform precise airflow and hydronic measurements using calibrated instrumentation.
System Adjustment
Dampers, balancing valves, and equipment are adjusted to achieve specified flow rates and design conditions.
Certified Report
A NEBB-compliant report documents all design values, measured conditions, and final adjusted readings.
