HVAC Test & Balance
Engineering
Penn Air’s HVAC Test & Balance division improves working environments with better energy efficiency solutions. Efficiency guarantees future cost savings, a comfortable workplace, and a productive workforce.
Following procedures issued by the Associated Air Balance Council (AABC), Penn Air values how Testing, Adjusting and Balancing will lead to comfort. They maintain strict guidelines to ensure a consistent airflow throughout the building and that the systems controls are working in sync with the output.
Properly balanced systems need to circulate a significant amount of fresh air as required by OSHA regulations and building codes. Medical facilities and laboratories are dependent on specific adjustments to the pressure differentials. In severe cases, where patients are suffering from tuberculosis, isolation rooms must have negative pressure to prevent airborne transmission.
