The editors of Engineered Systems recently interviewed AABC Board Member and ACG Member Brian Venn, TBE, CxA, Mechanical Testing, Inc.
Brian discusses how his firm utilizes new technologies to stay ahead of the competition.
He closes by encouraging engineers to become familiar with the Authorities in Building Performance: made up of the Associated Air Balance Council (AABC), the AABC Commissioning Group (ACG), and the Energy Management Association (EMA).
An independent Testing and Balancing Agency certified by the AABC shall be engaged to Test and Balance the HVAC systems. Systems shall be balanced to plus/minus 10% of design requirements. The contractor shall place all systems and equipment into full operation for Testing and Balancing. One copy of the final Test and Balance report with the AABC National Performance Guaranty shall be sent directly to the engineer of record. Provide five (5) additional copies to the contractor.
