This practical session will examine several of the most important testing, adjusting, and balancing challenges that can affect an HVAC project.

Attendees will learn how to:
- Understand the proper use, application, and limitations of TAB instrumentation
- Distinguish between accurate and meaningful field measurements and laboratory data
- Better understand HVAC systems and the TAB measurement process
- Prepare systems to support effective data collection and balancing
- Apply a project-team approach to scheduling, balancing device locations, equipment use, and HVAC system operation
The session is designed to provide engineers, commissioning providers, energy management professionals, facility professionals, and other project stakeholders with a stronger understanding of the TAB process and how it supports successful building performance.
NFMT West offers practitioner-led education across a variety of facility management topics, with continuing education opportunities available to qualifying attendees.
