scope:

The scope of this procedural guide includes the basic elements that are required to conduct an on-site testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) service.

PURPOSE

This guide is intended to be used by a trained TAB technician as a touchstone to assure that the best procedures are employed in a logical, effective order when conducting TAB services. A trained TAB technician should already be:

• intimately familiar with the design approaches and equipment used in HVAC systems;

• well versed in the array of instruments that can be used to measure the conditions within each HVAC component; and

• capable of evaluating the design data against the actual operating data to fine tune the overall building's energy systems to work in concert with one another at the lowest practical energy consumption.
