Air Balancing & Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing
Optimize HVAC Efficiency & Indoor Comfort
A functioning HVAC system doesn't always mean a balanced one. Imbalances in air pressure and flow lead to "hot and cold spots," soaring energy costs, and the circulation of stagnant air.
​
At ACME DUCT, we use specialized diagnostic tools to measure and adjust your system’s output. By harmonizing supply and return air, we eliminate mechanical strain and ensure that every zone in your facility receives the precise volume of filtered air it was engineered to deliver.
Air Balancing (TAB) Services
Testing & Measurement
We use capture hoods (balometers) and anemometers to measure the actual CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) at every grille and diffuser.
Proportional Balancing
Our technicians adjust dampers and fan speeds to redistribute airflow, ensuring no area is "starved" while others are "overloaded."
Pressure Management
We verify building pressure to prevent "whistling" doors and the infiltration of unconditioned outside air.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing
Poor IAQ is often invisible but leads to decreased productivity and "Sick Building Syndrome." Our comprehensive testing identifies the contaminants you can't see:
-
Particulate Matter (PM2.5/PM10)- Detecting dust, pollen, and industrial byproducts.
-
CO2 & Oxygen Levels- Ensuring proper fresh air intake and ventilation rates.
-
VOC & Chemical Detection- Monitoring for off-gassing from adhesives, cleaners, or manufacturing processes.
-
Microbial Surveys- Testing for airborne mold spores and bacteria.
Commercial Benefits
Lower Operating Costs
A balanced system reaches set-points faster, significantly reducing monthly electricity consumption.
Extended Equipment Life
Reducing airflow resistance prevents blower motors and compressors from overworking, extending your equipment’s lifespan.
Occupant Wellness
Proper ventilation rates are proven to reduce the spread of airborne viruses and improve employee focus.
