What Does an Air Balance Technician Do?

Watch the air balancing process in each stage: Initial Site Inspection, Review Mechanical Plans and Specifications, Inspect HVAC Equipment and Installation, Measure Initial HVAC Operating Conditions, Adjust Fan Speeds, Adjust Balancing Dampers, Measure Final HVAC Operating Conditions, and Ensure Positive Building Pressure.
Originally produced in 2005 with SPECS, Chain Storage Age, Walgreens, Trane, Level 3 Productions, and Pegnato and Pegnato.

Story of my life doing this job, it seems to be a never ending fault finding of a bad install

[@powerserg7230]

lol so true man. May I ask where you work? I don't hear od=f many companies by me over in NJ central.

[@korndawggy1801]

So, do you like the job or do you wish you were doing something else for a living.

[@Smurfidy]

@@korndawggy1801what do you think

[@AndersHolmgren]

I know the feeling. We are doing the same here in Sweden.

[@ronnyrath816]

Wow. This is very technical and in depth. I love to take on this challenge.

[@ethersecure2432]

But how do you achieve a positive net building pressure with only closed loop RTUs and exhaust fans without any MUA units? Only large buildings and restaurants have MUAs.

[@TheBCFarm]

Almost all RTUs have an outside air intake

[@ethersecure2432]

@chris white but at most they just mitigate *some* of the negative pressure and never actually contribute to adding positive pressure... wiuld need some sort of MUA

[@manuelpmartinez82]

To get a building in a positive pressure there needs to be more outside air then total exhaust.

If Test and Balance can be done? Do you mean you “ verify that the systems are installed and ready for balancing “? Im a Test and Balance Engineer and I’m not sure how I feel about this video. It feels as if it only captures the absolute minimum of what we actually do.

[@unknown-eu9uz]

What is the step wise procedure for air balancing in a new installed HVAC system,please provide me proper process step data...

[@seaspidermariner1565]

Good sharing

[@papisappliances8878]

No globs ? Wow

[@rdm80001]

This video is completly fabricated. Actually testing and balancing a system is more complicated than this.

[@rayesquivel4287]

Well just look at who made the video.

[@frenlyfire]

Elaborate on why?
