Engineers know that a comfortable environment is more productive and costs less to operate. This is why they specify TAB for new and existing environmental systems.
To create a comfortable environmental systems must provide a proper balance of temperature, humidity, air movement and cleanliness. Making certain these systems perform as the design engineer intended requires proper testing and balancing.
As a leading independent test and balance company, Schonluft Air Balance can provide you with an unbiased analysis and written record of system performance, involves the testing, adjusting, of every segment to ensure every framework will accomplish its unique execution targets.
What We Do
The Schonluft Air Balance Company deals with systems. We do not limit our involvement to just one area of specialization and are not predisposed to any one solution when confronted with a problem. We have a comprehensive understanding of how complex and integrated HVAC systems work. This understanding allows us to recognize and implement optimum solutions to difficult heating, ventilating and air conditioning problems.
Our systems approach to our work necessitates knowledge of a wide range of technical areas and as a result, the list of services we offer is extensive.
- HVAC Air Balance and Quantitative Analysis
- HVAC Hot and Chilled Water Testing and Balancing and Quantitative Analysis
- Sound and Vibration Testing
- HEPA Filter Certification
- Clean Room Certification
- Laboratory Fume Hood Testing
- Cooling Tower Testing
- HVAC System Commissioning
- Indoor Air Quality Testing and Analysis
Armed with calibrated tools, skilled Schonluft engineers and field technicians are prepared to make your building’s environmental system perform up to its design potential.
All Schonluft field offices have the latest state-of-the-art test instruments:

Systems Approach
Modern HVAC systems are complex assemblies of fans, coils, pumps, and controls. Dealing with malfunctioning systems requires not only a fundamental understanding of how each system component functions, but also awareness of how these components work together as a whole. The Schonluft Air Balance Company has been in the HVAC system business for over 30 years. Through hard work, dedication and commitment to doing the job right the first time, we have earned the reputation for quality work, responsiveness and customer oriented service.
HVAC systems require periodic assessment to assure proper performance. Even if you are not experiencing obvious problems, your system can still be costing you a lot more than it should to operate. Also an HVAC system which is performing to design requirements may not be doing the job if you’ve modified your facility since your system was installed. Such modifications might include remodeling, added computers and/or added copying machines.
As a leading independent test and balance company, Schonluft Air Balance can provide you with an unbiased analysis and record of system performance. It involves the testing, adjusting, and balancing of each component to make sure the system will achieve its original performance objectives.
Schonluft TAB (Test and Balance) Services include:
- Air and hydronic systems balancing
- Sound and vibration testing
- HEPA filter testing (DOP)
- Smoke evacuation system testing
- Clean room certification
- Independent laboratory instrument calibration
- Pre-construction plan checks and on-site reviews
Engineers know that a comfortable environment is more productive. This is the reason they indicate TAB for new and existing ecological frameworks.
Experience proves that a test and balance under actual operating conditions can improve a system’s performance and reduce energy consumption. It only adds about 1% to the system cost, yet the energy savings can be substantial, depending upon the type of installation.
Energy savings is another reason why nearly 90% of all design engineers specify TAB for heating, ventilating and air conditioning projects.
Design engineers have found that consulting with Schonluft during the design and installation phases of an HVAC project helps them achieve their environmental goals.
On-site inspection by Schonluft engineers assures that all balancing devices, such as dampers, pressure taps, valves and temperature controls, are being properly installed to permit accurate testing and balancing.
When TAB is completed, you’ll receive our Official Test & Balance Report and an analysis of results obtained while the environmental system was operating.
Accompanying the report is a certificate of performance. This is your assurance that all testing and balancing was performed in accordance with your plans and specifications and to standards of the AABC (Associated Air Balance Council).
