Understanding the Commissioning Process

We are pleased to make available for download the presentations that were delivered at the ACG Seminar, Understanding the Commissioning Process, October 13-14 at the Renaissance Vinoy in St. Petersburg, Florida. We hope you will join us for next year’s ACG Annual Meeting, April 15-17 in Chicago!

Comprehensive testing and balancing (TAB) and functional performance testing are vital to the commissioning process. It is therefore recommended that certified, independent testing specialists perform this work on all commissioning projects.

 

The Associated Air Balance Council (AABC) is a nonprofit association of certified, independent test and balance engineers, who by definition are qualified to provide specialized testing services on commissioning projects.
