Local authorities, in addition to national organizations such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Code Council (ICC), are the ones responsible for defining the standards and norms that apply to FLS systems. The owners of the facilities are the ones who are responsible for testing their systems at the right intervals and ensuring that they have the proper paperwork to demonstrate that their systems are functional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing is a vital step for complex air and hydronic systems within buildings and throughout campuses to ensure HVAC systems are optimized for occupant comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and manufacturing processes.

What is TAB? TAB stands for testing, adjusting and balancing of your environmental systems and compressors. The testing part includes the use of specialized equipment to take precise measurements of how your system is operating. 

First, locate the closest supply air duct to your indoor AC unit. Then use a thermometer, even a refrigerator thermometer will work, and tape it just inside. Let your Air Conditioning run for about ten minutes then check and record the temperature.
