Residential Air Diagnostic Pocket Guide
After conducting over 300 residential-light commercial Air Balancing/Air Diagnostics
seminars and fielding thousands of technical support telephone calls and e-mails over
the years. This pocket guide was created to make the duct system easy to diagnose.
Here are some of the key basic fundamental tests and processes.
Not only conducting seminars but also practicing what we preach in the field. Being a
Certified Balancing Supervisor for PABD, Al D'Ambola wrote the Pocket Guide 1.
This pocket guide was put together to help the field technician, installer or Home
energy rater become more proficient at identifying problems on the airside of the
system. This 6.25"x 3.25" pocket guide is a great foundation for troubleshooting the
performance of the air distribution system.
