commercial Airflow Balancing for california Buildings
Beginning on January 1st, 2026, new construction and renovations will require a certified TAB technician (NEBB, AABC, and TABB) to perform Testing, Adjusting and Balancing prior to occupancy.
When Airflow Falls Out of Balance, Everything Else Does Too
If your system isn’t properly balanced, you’ll feel it, and hear about it from your occupants. Temperature complaints rise, indoor air quality drops, and energy use spikes. More critically, unbalanced systems can compromise ventilation and code compliance and delay permits or occupancy approvals.
A professional TAB service ensures that air is flowing where and how it should—across every zone. With Skilled + Trained pros, balancing isn’t just box-checking. It’s deep calibration that improves comfort, safeguards compliance, and prevents costly callbacks.
The Cost of Skipping TAB
Rooms constantly fluctuate between too hot and too cold
Ventilation systems underperform and trigger IAQ complaints
Energy use skyrockets due to imbalanced airflow
Inspection delays stall projects or jeopardize code approvals
Occupants notice and trust in your building management takes a hit
Pro Tip: On new projects, a certified TAB technician is required in California.
