| Combustion Analysis & Carbon Monoxide Safety Certified Testing. Without actually measuring how would you know what your system is performing at? Measure it. We measure the combustion process by testing the CO when the flame first ignites, it tells a story. Oxygen content of flue gases over a period of time, it tells a story and most critically, Carbon Monoxide, it tells a story. Without knowing all the scenes in this story you will never achieve maximum burner performance. We will provide you with the most critical information on your heating systems. PABD, Inc. will offer solutions that other companies may not know these issues even exist. Commercial RTU, Boilers and Residential equipment need to have a combustion analysis. National Comfort Institute is the industry standards for safe and energy saving performance testing. "If you don't measure your guessing" |

Is it hard to open the front door of a
restaurant? Or any type of building with a
exhaust system? Measuring the Exhaust Air
as well as the Make Up Air allows us to
pressure balance a restaurant. This will
keep the conditioned air in the restaurant
and prevent the conditioned air from being
sucked out of the restaurant. Reducing
energy consumption and maintain a
comfortable restaurant.

This is where we can see if the fan can
handle the installed duct system as well as
other external components. Comparing the
actual TESP and actual external pressure
drops, we now have the knowledge of the
systems blood pressure. From pressure
testing we will verify that the systems
internal and external pressures are within
the equipment capabilities.

| Thermal Imaging |
Used properly, a thermal imaging camera can provide valuable information during
moisture assessments, mitigation work, energy audits, roof and electrical system
inspections and water damage investigations. Thermal imaging cameras do not actually
detect moisture and/or mold, they use sensors to pick up infrared waves and formulate
images based upon those waves. The resulting images, properly interpreted can be
used to assess areas of potential moisture by evaluating differences in temperature.
Temperature difference caused by evaporation, radiation, thermal bridging,
infiltration/exfiltration and other sources must all be carefully evaluated. In doing so,
the inspector can use the information to spot suspect areas that are not visible to the
naked eye. The findings are then verified using electronic, data-logging moisture
detection equipment and in some cases core samples (some flat roofs). Core samples
are required for verification of findings on some flat roof systems (built-up) to meet
ASTM Standard C 1153 -97 Standard Practice for Location of Wet Insulation in
Roofing Systems Using Infrared Imaging.
During conventional building inspections or surveys electronic moisture meters are
used to assess moisture in building components. In most cases, the inspector must
manually log readings and the readings are only of the area where the meter is placed
(contact with surface required). This process can be time consuming and leaves the
possibility for error in manually recording readings. This also makes it unlikely that hard
to reach areas (high ceilings) will be surveyed. Our approach uses thermal imaging and
data logging moisture detection equipment to assure that we assess all areas and
that our findings are defensible. When suspect areas are found they can be visually
documented using the infrared camera. Our findings are then verified using
data-logging moisture detection equipment with time stamp.
