NorthWest Engineering Service, Inc., which has locations in Tigard, Eugene, and Boise, Idaho, is committed to maintaining the best standards in the Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing of sophisticated air and water systems. Since 1958, we have been assisting building owners, engineers, and other experts in the design industry to achieve the optimal balance of flow distribution. We are one of the few businesses in the country that has earned certification from both the National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) and the Associated Air Balance Council. In addition to being a founding member of the nation's first independent TAB apprenticeship, we are also one of the few companies to receive certification from both of these organizations (AABC). We give services that are technically sound, as well as cost-effective, and are based on the procedures that they require.
The year 2003 marked the beginning of NorthWest Engineering Service Inc.'s work on FLS systems. Because of our extensive experience in Commissioning (Cx) and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB), we are in a truly unique position to carry out audit surveys of HVAC systems, identify and functionally test all Fire Smoke Dampers, and offer documentation to meet the standards of the AHJ.

TAB stands for Testing, Adjusting and Balancing for HVAC systems. It refers to the steps taken by HVAC contractors to calibrate the HVAC unit in commercial establishments to achieve optimal performance and air quality.
Use tabs to alternate between views within the same context, not to navigate to different areas. This is the single most important point, because staying in place while alternating views is the reason we have tabs in the first place.
Generally, a tab is the same width as 4 to 5 spaces provided the font being used equally sizes each character. For example, the Courier font's tab equals 5 spaces, whereas the Arial font is 11 spaces to each tab when the font size for both is set to 12.
The key to a comfortable and efficient space is the design and function of a building's HVAC systems. The testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of the systems is what ensures they are functioning properly.
Air balancing is a method of testing your heating and cooling system to spot any problems that are causing uneven airflow or negative air pressure. Once identified, these problems can be corrected so every room gets the amount of air it needs.
