The TABB Certified Supervisor’s project goal should
be that contract obligations, as set forth in the
contract drawings and specifications, would be fulfilled
to the highest level of quality. A TABB Certified
Technician should work directly with the TABB Certified
Supervisor and direct the actions of testing, adjusting
and balancing technicians on the project. The TABB
Certified Supervisor should ensure use of balance
procedures that impose minimum restrictions on the HVAC
systems. Before performing any TAB work, the TABB
Certified Supervisor should review with the TABB
Certified Technicians who are performing the work, the
following documents:
1. Contract Documents
2. Contract Specifications
3. Addenda
4. Submittal data
5. Shop Drawings
6. Airflow Diagrams
7. Automatic Control drawings
The TABB Certified Supervisor should verify that
instruments used for measurements meet specified
accuracies as stated in this manual. The TABB Certified
Supervisor should assure that the entire system has been
tested and balanced to design criteria and that all data
submitted is accurate. Recorded data must represent
actually measured or observed conditions. If required,
the TABB Certified Supervisor should report on the
progress of work performed as well as report and address
any problems encountered.
The TABB Certified Supervisor should determine when all
HVAC systems and components have been tested and
balanced within acceptable tolerances or all efforts to
achieve design criteria have been exhausted. The TABB
Certified Supervisor should verify that systems have
been left in proper working order. The TABB Certified
Supervisor will ensure that any variance from design
criteria greater than acceptable tolerances will be
noted throughout the testing, adjusting and balancing
report. The TABB Certified Supervisor should ensure that
report includes the information and data required to
provide an exact record of system performance. The TABB
Certified Supervisor is to prepare and submit at least
three copies of the HVAC final testing, adjusting and
balancing report for review by the design professional.
What TABB certification should mean to the customer is that
the highest standards have been met.
