Those Standards, which established minimum standards for testing and balancing, paved the way for important advancements in the industry. While subsequent editions of the Standards were published in later years, each edition was completely rewritten in order to accommodate the ever chang- ing needs of the HVAC industry. This book represents the latest effort by AABC to continue that tradition. ‘The information compiled in this book supersedes all previous editions of AABC Standards. Additional copies of the National Standards are available upon request at AABC National Headquarters.

Preface The AABC National Standards for Total System Balance, 2002 Edition, has been completely re-written and reorganized to reflect the latest advancements in the test and balance industry. This publication was made possible by the AABC National Standards Committee, a group of volunteer members who graciously dedicated their time and expertise to this project. As a result, AABC is pleased to present a standard for Total System Balance that is unparalleled in its com- prehensive approach to provide the end-user with the information required to ensure that HVAC systems are properly tested, adjusted and balanced. In addition to the National Standards Committee, the material in this publi- cation has been thoroughly reviewed by all members of AABC. Again, without their valuable assistance and support, this manual would not have been possible. In making reference to these Standards, engineering professionals and other end-users may refer to the publication as ABC National Standards for Total System Balance, or AABC National Standards 2002, It is recommended, however, that when referencing the Standards, building owners and engineers cite specific sections by number for maximum clarity and understanding. Acknowledgement AABC wishes to express sincere appreciation for the outstanding effort and technical contributions made by members of the AABC National Standards ‘Committee. Members of the committee are as follows: Gaylon Richardson William A. Derse Engineered Air Balance Co., Inc. Professional System Analysis, Inc. Houston, Texas Germantown, Wisconsin Patrick H. Kelly ‘Tim Smith American Testing, Ine. ‘Thermo Mechanical Services Ltd. Ellicott City, Maryland Edmonton, Alberta Steve Young ‘The Phoenix Agency, Inc. Lutz, Florida Introduction — As HVAC systems bocome moro complex, the need for professional test and balance services is greater than evex. ‘Tho Associated Air Balance Council (ABC) continues to meet this need by providing trained and experienced per- sonnel, disseminating technical information, and develop- ing guidelines, standards, and procedures for the test and balance (TAB) industry. The AABC National Standards 2002 represents the latest effort by the association to present detailed and com- prehensive industry standards of practices and procedures to attain Total System Balance, a concept pioneered by the Associated Air Balance Council. Total System Balancing describes a systematic method by which HVAC systems can be tested, balanced, and evaluated for optimum system per- formance, Over a million projects hove been completed by AABC members since the inception of AABC Total System Balance in 1965, The scope of these projects varied dramatically in terms of each project's level of sophistication, operational readiness of the system, type of facility, interaction with trades and other professions, contract documents and spec- ifications, and design intent. ‘Years of experience have shown that seldom are two projects the same; each has its own distinct characteristics that make it unique to the test and balance professional. Because of this diversity, it becomes increasingly important for those involved with the test and balance process to understand the role of the TAB Agency and the require- ments for Total System Balance. ‘The purpose of this Standard is to: m Ensure that proper methods and procedures are fol- lowed in the test and balance process. m= Provide a better understanding of the scope of work required of the TAB Agency. = Assist in the development of written specifications. AABC National Standards “i = Describe various types of systems and the procedures required to test, balance, and evaluate their performance. M_ Work with design professionals to achieve design intent. & Delineate responsibilities of other trades and professions during various phases of Total System Balance. To achieve these objectives, the AABC National Standards for Total System Balance 2001 have been completely rewritten to reflect the latest state-of-the-art procedures for Total System Balancing. Each chapter covers a spe- cific area in the test and balance process, allow- ing the design professional to select those items that are best suited for a particular project. ‘The goal of the Associated Air Balance Council as reflected in this Standard is to pro- vide the owner and design professional with HVAC systems that not only meet the design intent, but function optimally through the full range of operation. ‘Total System Balancing includes: wt Preparing a plan review for balanceabil- ity: where plans, specification and sub- mittels are reviewed and an agenda with TAB data sheets is developed. = Performing project site inspections to assure all system components are installed, operational, and accessible. Field tests such as duct leakage teste are verified to assure systems will function ‘economically within design parameters. Testing and balancing the systems and adjusting them to optimum performance. ii AABC National Standards a Submitting a report containing actual ‘operating conditions of systems for use by design professionals and end users. = Providing time to perform report verifica- tion on-site by random testing of reported systems. Because these new Standards cover both basic and comprehensive procedures, building ‘owners and engineers should be specificin their requirements for Total System Balance. Additional tests that are considered above and beyond the normal scope of testing and bal- ancing should be individually specified. Some of these tests would include Duct Leakage Testing, Cooling Tower Testing, Chiller Capacity Testing, Sound and Vibration Testing, Boiler Testing and Smoke Control Testing, It is important to specify from the outset what is required regarding each of these tests. Test and balance services should be pro- cured directly by the building owner. This will eliminate any potential conflict of interest and allow the TAB Agency to report directly to the party with ultimate responsibility for the out- come of the project. AABC believes that by promoting the con- cept of Total System Balance, the industry will be encouraged to adopt more consistent prac- tices, thus ensuring greater success for all par- ties involved inthe design, installation, start-up, operation and testing of HVAC systems.

Index - 213-229 History During the 1950's and early 1960s, mech- anical systems in buildings were becoming increasingly complex. Along with the growth of more sophisticated systems came the inherent need for quality test and balance procedures. During this developmental stage of testing and balancing, there was experimentation of testing procedures for air and hydronic sys- tems in commercial buildings throughout the United States and Canada. At first, there was limited cooperative effort in terms of exchang- ing information about testing and balancing. ‘The result was a growth of poorly trained indi- viduals attempting to perform balancing with- out standardized methods and sufficient knowledge of system operations. ‘Throughout the industry, the need for stan- dard, proven procedures was becoming increasingly apparent. In 1964, a few inde- pendent agencies met to discuss a strategy to enhance communication, thus creating a more open exchange of information in this extremely specialized field, ‘The founders of AABC wanted not only to create a way to open lines of communication, but also to ensure that the individuals and firms who performed test and balance services were qualified. The precedent of allowing con- tractors to execute this task was disconcerting to the design engineers, who understood the complexity of the newer eystems. They felt that the service of testing and balancing HVAC sys- tems should be executed by those who not only best understood the systems, but who also had no competing interests in the project. As a result, the Associated Air Balance Council was formed in 1965 as anonprofit asso- ciation for qualified, independent test and bal- ance agencics, In doing so, the founders realized their vision of creating an organiza- tion that embodied the principles and philoso phies they shared during the formative years of testing and balancing. ‘These principles are still very much a part of the organization today. AABC continues to serve as the industry leader in the develop- ment of standards and practices for ‘Total ‘System Balance. Additionally, AABC is recog- nized throughout the world as the preeminent organization of qualified, independent test and balance agencies. Companies which apply for AABC mem- bership and certification are subject to a thor- ough review and investigation by the AABC Board of Directors. Applicants must meet the following requirements: 1. Operate successfully as an independent test and balance agency for a minimum period of three years. 2, Employ at least one person eligible to take the test and balance engineer'sexamination. 3, Furnish AABC with ten letters of recom- mendation from consulting engineering firms. 4, Demonstrate the ability to perform Total System Balance in accordance with AABC standards and procedures. 5. Submit proof of adequate financial respon- sibility and ownership of all required instrumentation. 6. Agroo to perform work in accordance with AABC standards and comply with AABC policies and procedures. ‘7. Members of AABC agree to uphold a strict, and enforced code of professional conduct and practice. Upon meeting theserequirements and pass- ing the TBE examination, the individual is cer- tified as an AABC Test and Balance Engineer (TBE) and the company becomes a certified member of AABC. Certification is renewable on an annual basis, contingent upon the agency's performance during the preceding year. All new AABC members are subject to a two- year review period, during which time the agency's performance is closely monitored to ensure compliance with ABC standards and procedures. ABC National Standards iii AABC Certifiation Requirements AABC maintains a series of certification programs designed to evaluate and recognize the technical competence of agency personnel Applicants for certification must meet the applicable eligibility requirements and receive a passing score on the examination. ‘+ Test and Balance Engineer: Applicants for the TBE examination must have at least ‘eight years of experience in the field of Total ‘System Balance. Each year of post-second- ary engineering education serves as one year of experience, * Certified Test and Balance Technician: Applicants for the AABC Technician Certification exam must have four years of experience in the field of Total System Balance. All eligible technicians of an AABC certified member agency are required to complete training to become an AABC certified technician. * Clean Room Certification: Applicants must first achieve certification as a ‘Test and Balance Technician. Certification is issued in the name of the company and person who completed the exam. Iffor any reason a person leaves the certified agency, the certification for the individual is no longer considered valid, unless transferred to another AABC agency within one year. iv AABC National Standards & Associtad A bas Count Ann Catto “Bont John Doe. ABC Test and Balainoe bes fw, ‘Test and Balance Engineer Certification Training and Education ‘Total System Ralance requires the proper use of instrumentation, the skillful evaluation ofreadings, and the ability toadjust the system to meet design intent. It also requires an acute knowledge and understanding of system oper- ation, especially as it relates to automatic tem- perature controls. The association is therefore actively engaged in providing its members with the latest technical information and ongoing train- ing programs. Training and educational mate- rials include: + AABC Technician Training Manual * AABC Test and Balance Procedures * AABC Training Video Series + AABC National Standards for Total System Balance Additionally, the association holds regu- larly scheduled meetings and seminars where technical information is presented by industry experts. Each member is required to submit a technical paper to AABC on a biennial basis. AABC is also involved with providing tech- nical information to the public. The primary means of disseminating information is through ‘TAB Journal, a quarterly publication contain- ing an array of technical articles, many of which are written by AABC members. ‘To assist building owners and engineering professionals with the development of written specifications for Total System Balance, AABC provides the AABC National Standards and ‘Speewriter, a computer software program that allews users to create customized specifica- tions for individual projects. AABC also publishes an Annual International Certified Agency Directory con- taining up-to-date listings of all certified mem- bers of ABC. National Performance Guaranty AABC offers the National Performance Guaranty as a measure of quality assurance for each project performed by an ABC certi- fied agency. The document, issued at the start of every project, serves as an agreement by the test and balance agency to uphold AABC National Standards and meet the require- ments of the project. All AABC certified test and balance agencies are authorized to issue a National Performance Guaranty, and all clients of AABC agencies receive coverage under the Guaranty without extra documen- tation or costs. ‘The National Performance Guaranty offers 2 solution to engineers and building owners in the event that the requirements of the project are not met by the test and balance agency. Under the terms ofthe Guaranty, AABC agrees to promptly investigate any written com- plaints from engineers and building owners. Based on its findings, ABC will take appro- priate action to resolve any problems associ- ated with the complaint. If necessary, AABC will provide supervisory personnel to aid the completion of the project in accordance with AABC standards. ‘The Guaranty also states that ABC will pro- vide assistance to the building owner regard- ing any technical probleme that may arise in the final balanced condition of thesystem. This service will be made available to the client by the test and balance agency or by AABC Headquarters at no additional charge to the dlient. ‘The AABC National Performance Guaranty exemplifies the confidence AABC has in the technical competence and integrity of its mem- bers and represents the ultimate form of qual- ity assurance for clients of AABC members. AABC National Standards v AABC National Performance Guaranty Pursuant to the agreement between TA Ceri sg & Waa aEEY All systems shall be balanced in accordance with the plans and specifications and to the ‘optimum performance capabilites of the equipment and design. Testing and balancing shall {be done in accordance with the standards published by the Associated Air Balance Cou If for any reason, the Agency listed above fails to comply with the specifications, with” the exception of termination of business by the Agency, equipment malfunction or inade- _quacy, 0° iinproper design, which prevents proper balancing ofthe systems, the Associated ‘Air Balance Council will provide supervisory personnel to assist the Agency to perform the ‘work in accordance with ABC Standards. 4 ‘As part of this Performance Guaranty, the engineer or building owner may call upon AABC to assist him with any technical and/or feld problems pertaining to the final bal glanced condition of systems. These services will be made available at no additional charge Sy the above agency or by AABC National Headquaders. Project Name. ‘Address CHAPTER 1 Total System Balancing 1.1 Overview Basic testing and balancing can be defined as the art of establishing air and water flows. The Associated Air Balance Council has developed the concept of Total System Balancing. Total System Balancing can be defined as the process of testing and balancing the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and sub-systems to perform at the design intent and operate at an optimum level. Total System Balancing includes review of the design documents for balanceability, construction observation, and a methodical approach to test and balance all systems to their optimal performance with verifiable test results. ‘To perform ‘Total System Balancing, the Test and Balance (TAB) Agency begins the process in the design stage by reviewing the documents for balanceability and inter- faces with the design team. During the construction stage, the TAB Agency makes field observation reports, reviews submitted data, and prepares for the testing and balancing phase. During the testing and balancing phase, the TAB ‘Agency tests and balances each aystem and sub-system, including the control system, and documents the results of each test. During the occupancy stage, the Engineer reviews, verifies, and accepts the TAB Report. The TAB Agency assists the operating personnel to establish that the system operates as designed. ‘This standard defines the Total System Balance process by establishing minimum procedures for the testing of var- ious HVAC components. 1.2 Design Phase During the design phase, the Test and Balance Engineer (TBE) can interface with the design team identifying prac- tical experiences with various types of systems. During this design phase, the TAB Agency's role can be identified through specifications how they will be included in the sub- mittal process. This should include developing a contractor AABC National Standards 4 coordination specification so the contractor knows what is required prior to balancing; establishing a time frame to test all systems, identifying if any special testing will be required (cooling tower capacity test, chiller capacity test, smoke control testing, boiler capacity testing, offsite testing, duct pressure testing observation, mock-ups, sound testing or vibration testing, factory observations, etc.) and whether there will be any training of oper- ating personnel. During the design phase, the TAB Agency will review the documents for balanceability. The review for balanceability will be to ensure the systems have sufficient, devices to properly test the system. During this review, the control sequences will be seruti- nized for compatibility with the systems. Air and water flow paths will also be reviewed. The design stage is also the time to establish pro- cedures for testing the temperature control system. It should be determined how deficien- cies in systems that do not meet the design cri- teria will be reported to the design team and the contractor along with an appropriate time of response. 1.3 Construction Phase During this phase, the TAB Agency will be involved in any special factory test or mock-up test prior to submittal acceptance as identified in the design phase. The Agency will develop a TAB report format when all documents have been received. This will include the construc- tion plans and specifications, submittals, and any pertinent change orders. The TAB report, format will organize the data sheets for each system and will include the design informa- tion. Field observations will be made of the ductwork, piping, return air paths, and build- ing envelope to determine if the components are being installed properly. A field observa- tion report will then be submitted, Scheduling is developed during the initial construction stage to establish ample time prior to occu- pancy for the Total System Balance process. Special test scheduling should also be included in the scheduling meeting. 2 AABC National Standards 1.4 Testing and Balancing Phase After the contractor has performed the equipment startup, as identified in the con- tractor's TAB coordination specification, and given written notice to all concerned parties including the TAB agency that systems are 100% operational (which includes clean filters installed, all diffusers and grilles installed, all control components 100% operational, etc.), the TAB phase can begin. During the TAB phase, testing and balancing of all equipment, subsystems, systems, and system interfaces must be accomplished, reported, verified and accepted by the engineer. The final balance results of each component's actual operating tests will be recorded on the appropriatereport data sheet. If acceptable performance cannot be achieved because of the system or a con- struction deficiency, the test data will be doc- umented in writing to the appropriate responsible parties. Control testing will in- clude verification that each sensor on the con- troller controls the correct device, and that each device has the proper setpoint and is properly calibrated. After the field TAB serv- ices are accomplished, the Test and Balance Report should be processed and reviewed by the TBE to assure compliance with AABC standards and the contract documents, 1.5 The Report ‘The report shall be a complete record of the HVAC system performance, including condi- tions of operation, items outstanding, and any deviations found during the TAB process. The final report also provides a reference of actual ‘operating conditions for the owner and/or oper- ations personnel. All measurements and recorded readings (of air, water, electricity, ete.) that appear in the reports must be made on site and dated by the AABC technicians or engineers. The report must be organized by systems and will include project identification, date, and page, along 155 with the following information as a minimum: 15.4 1.5.2 15.3 1.5.4 Test and Balance Report (Title Page on Letterhead) {All Projects) = Company Name m Company Address Company Telephone Number 1 Project Identification (ID) = Location tm Project Architect m Project Engineer m Project Contractor m Project Number m Name and Signature of TBE © Certification # 1 Date of Report 1 Certification Statement Table of Contents {All Projects) m Title Page ™ Table of Contents m= National Performance Guaranty m= Summary m Instrumentation wm TAB Data Report Summary (All Projects) This will be a list of items that document the variation from design tolerances, with information that may be considered in resolving the problem.
