Performance Air Balancing Diagnostics, Inc. is a certified
balancing & testing company. Certified by NBC, NBI and NCI. We
have served architects, engineers, contractors, industry and
business's.
Commercial Projects: We balance both air and hydronic systems.
PABD, Inc is an independent Testing, Adjusting and Balancing
Agency. We pride ourselves in identifying under performing systems.
Not only the air side performance, one of the most critical parts of
system operation is the combustion performance. How many
combustion efficiency tests have been performed on your systems?
This side of the system seems to be ignored by the balancing
governing bodies, engineers, balancing contractors as well as most
HVAC contractors. This is what we mean when we say "balancing
your energy resources". AIR, WATER & COMBUSTION.
Reports: All of our reports are color coded for your convenience.
Even if you've never seen a balancing or diagnostic report, you will
be able to understand ours. The formating and color coding make
them easy to understand. This will allow you to make the key
decisions regarding comfort and cost issues. What good is a
report if you don't understand it, and how, it impacts your
costs of operating your systems.
Retro Commissioning: When balancing can not be achieved we
then put our emphasis into diagnosing why the system is not
functioning as design. This is the challenge we pride ourselves in
overcoming. Working with engineers, control contractors, HVAC
contractors and facilities managers to achieve delivered measured
repeatable honest actual system performance. Time, patience and
repeatability in our readings define our diagnostic procedures.
We invite you to walk through our field tests on your projects
performance testing. Share in the knowledge in knowing how your
building is performing. We are confident in our ability to accurately
measure the key components of comfort. They are air volume,
temperature, velocity, flow, pressure and moisture removal. Knowing
what the equipment is delivering and comparing to the equipment
capabilities we can now have a true picture of your building's
mechanical performance. Giving you measured results to make your
systems function.
Contact PABD, Inc for a look at our submittal packs. Included are
some sample forms that give you a glimpse of the way we present
our reports and arrive at solutions. We offer a solution-based
approach to air & water balancing.
This is the primary strength we bring to your projects, solutions, not
just "match the numbers" balancing.
Residential: What Air Balancing Can Do For Your System
It’s not uncommon to find a system 40% to 60% low on airflow. Air
passes through the equipment and carries the heating or cooling
inside. The effectiveness of the equipment is entirely dependent on
the amount of airflow. When your certified technician measures the
airflow he can "see" system performance. With this information he
can diagnose, offer repair solutions and balance system for
maximum system performance. The end result is rooms that are the
same temperature, cleaner air, better humidity control and real
energy savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION: Can any system be balanced?
ANSWER: A contractor with the right tools and training can improve
the performance of virtually any system. The more accessible your
ductwork is, the easier it is to perform balancing and duct renovation
work.
QUESTION: Most contractors tell me that I’ll save big on my
utility bills and be more comfortable by just replacing my
existing equipment with a more efficient model. Is this true?
ANSWER: It could be, as long as the duct system is in the same
condition as the new equipment. If it is not, the system will only
function as well as the ducts do. Compare it to installing a brand-
new race car engine on an old beat up sedan.
QUESTION: How will air balancing solve my problem of rooms
with different temperature?
ANSWER: The airflow through the system is what carries the
heating or cooling. By adjusting the volume of airflow, we adjust the
amount of heating or cooling a room needs to become comfortable.
We will measure the delivered BTU’S of your HVAC equipments field
performance.
If you invested in high efficiency equipment we will measure the
delivered capacity. NO MORE HOT & COLD SPOTS. Just even
temperatures. Let us show you what your CSER & HSER field
rating is! PABD, Inc follows the industry standards that apply to
the projects we undertake. Our standards for testing and balancing
are NBC,NBI, NCI and ASHRAE.
What is CSER & HSER? As industry and equipment change, so
does testing and verifying techniques. NBC,NBI and NCI standards
mandate that we must take the manufactures equipment data and
engineering specifications and compare that information to the
equipment delivered performance data. Actual field performance
delivered rating, not just what a tag says.
Once we conduct our investigation we find problems others just
don't recognize. We compare total system BTU performance against
equipment data and engineers load data to give the new industry
standard ratings CSER (Cooling System Efficiency Ratio) and HSER
(Heating System Efficiency Ratio).
Recent industry research by the National Comfort Institute has
revealed that the typical systems in America are functioning at
57% CSER & HSER! What are your systems functioning at? How
much capacity is your duct system losing?
If your buildings or homes are suffering from the following
symptoms contact us so that you now can learn and understand
why your experiencing these issues. A diagnostic approach to
uncovering your systems poor performance. NO GUESSING.
Do you suffer from this symptoms:
Let us use are years of field experience to uncover your
buildings and homes unique comfort issues. Our practical
measured field experience is what we rely on more than
anything else.
