Testing for sound and vibration in HVAC systems
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) at the federal, state, and municipal levels have expanded their FSD testing code enforcement efforts beyond the healthcare industry to include the following:
The installation of fire and life safety (FLS) systems is an essential part of both new and existing building. Fire Smoke Dampers (often abbreviated as FSD) are among the most important of them. These devices are installed wherever a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) duct penetrates a fire-rated wall, ceiling, or floor. In the event of a fire, these devices should be able to stop flames and smoke from spreading through the HVAC ductwork, allowing occupants more time to evacuate the building and contributing to the reduction of the amount of damage caused by the fire. However, as buildings and systems age and as physical, mechanical, or electrical problems emerge, dampers can become inoperable. This leaves the duct as an open channel for fire and smoke in the event of a fire, and the facility runs the danger of being shut down owing to a lack of compliance. Verifying and documenting that essential FLS building systems perform as expected is accomplished through the process of testing and maintaining fire smoke dampers.
Leak testing and investigations on the pressurized and ducted systems
The majority of the work performed by the TAB consists of testing, measuring, and determining performance benchmarks. Among the most important examples of these operations are determining the air and hydronic volumetric flow rates, determining the level of heat transfer performance, and modifying the air exchange and ventilation rates.

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.
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.
What is TAB? TAB stands for testing, adjusting and balancing of your environmental systems and compressors. The testing part includes the use of specialized equipment to take precise measurements of how your system is operating.
First, locate the closest supply air duct to your indoor AC unit. Then use a thermometer, even a refrigerator thermometer will work, and tape it just inside. Let your Air Conditioning run for about ten minutes then check and record the temperature.
Building Management System is used to control and monitor complex HVAC systems as per design intent. It is used to collect data about the performance of the building as well as energy consumption by individual equipment and systems.
