Testing, Commissioning & Engineering Analysis
Testing, Adjusting & Balancing (TAB)
Measuring and adjusting airflow and water flow to meet design intent.
Overview
Air and water delivered where design says they should be.
Even a well-designed system performs poorly if airflow and water flow are not set correctly. Testing, adjusting and balancing brings each system to its design values and records the result.
SPC measures, adjusts and documents flows across air and hydronic systems, improving comfort, protecting equipment and reducing wasted energy.
Unbalanced systems waste energy and leave spaces too hot or too cold. Balancing brings flows back to design values.
Testing, Commissioning & Engineering AnalysisScope and capability
What we deliver
Defined scope items, each coordinated with the other building systems.
Air balancing
Measurement and adjustment of supply, return and extract airflows to design values.
Hydronic balancing
Water flow setting for chilled and hot water systems and terminal units.
Fan and pump performance
Verification of equipment duty against design and manufacturer data.
Room pressure checks
Pressure relationships measured between spaces where required.
Final report
Measured values, instruments used and any deviations clearly recorded.
Why it matters
Built around performance
Comfort in every zone
Balanced systems deliver the right conditions in every space.
Efficient plant
Correct flows avoid over-pumping and over-ventilating.
Documented performance
Reports give owners a baseline for the future.
How we work
A clear path from brief to handover
Prepare
Review design data and confirm systems are ready.
Measure
Take initial readings with calibrated instruments.
Adjust
Set dampers, valves and drives to design flows.
Report
Issue final measured values and observations.
Deliverables
What you receive
- Balancing report with measured values
- Instrument calibration records
- Deviation and recommendation notes
- Marked-up drawings with settings

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what clients usually ask before starting.
Is balancing needed in a new building?
Yes. Systems rarely perform correctly until flows have been measured and set, so balancing is a key step before handover.
Can you rebalance an older system?
Yes. Rebalancing helps where layouts have changed or comfort complaints arise, and gives a fresh baseline.
