Comprehensive TAB Reports Solutions
Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing from Target International ensures that your HVAC system delivers exactly the airflow, water flow, and thermal output specified in the design documents. Since 2014, we have produced 155 TAB reports for projects totaling 890,000 square meters across Abu Dhabi. Our reports are accepted without revision by all major engineering consultants including Khatib & Alami, AECOM, WS Atkins, and Parsons, and are approved by Abu Dhabi authorities on first submission in 96 percent of cases.
TAB is not optional fine-tuning: it is a fundamental commissioning procedure required by ASHRAE Standard 111, CIBSE Commissioning Code A, and UAE building regulations. An unbalanced system can waste 20 to 40 percent of HVAC energy by over-supplying some zones while starving others. Temperature variations of 4 to 8 degrees Celsius between adjacent rooms are common in unbalanced buildings. Our TAB process systematically measures, adjusts, and documents every terminal device until the entire system performs within 10 percent of design values.
Our TAB team holds Level 2 certification from the National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) and uses calibrated instrumentation traceable to NIST standards. Equipment includes TSI AccuBalance air capture hoods (accurate to +/- 3 percent), Dwyer digital manometers (0.1 Pascal resolution), TSI thermal anemometers, ultrasonic flow meters for hydronic systems, and data-logging temperature sensors. All instruments are calibrated every 12 months with certificates maintained for audit purposes.
The TAB process follows a strict protocol: pre-TAB inspection of installed equipment against design submittals, baseline measurement of all terminal devices before adjustment, systematic balancing of air and water circuits from terminals back to mains, control verification and setpoint optimization, and final measurement documentation. For a typical 20,000-square-meter office building, we measure and record 250 to 400 data points. The resulting report includes executive summary, methodology, instrument calibration certificates, design versus actual comparison tables, deficiency list, and as-tested control sequences.
Why Choose Our TAB Reports Service?
Eliminate Hot & Cold Spots
Systematic balancing ensures every room receives design airflow. Post-TAB temperature variation across zones is typically under 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Save 20-40% on HVAC Energy
Balanced systems avoid over-supply and fan over-speed. On a 500-ton chiller plant, that can mean AED 120,000 to AED 200,000 annual energy savings.
Guaranteed Consultant Acceptance
Our reports follow NEBB and CIBSE formats precisely. 96 percent pass consultant and authority review on first submission without revision requests.
Extend Equipment Life
Properly balanced pumps and fans operate at design load instead of overload. This reduces bearing wear, motor heat, and vibration, extending life by 20 to 30 percent.
Compliance & Warranty Protection
Manufacturer warranties often require TAB documentation. Our reports protect your warranty coverage and satisfy authority inspection requirements.
Data-Driven Maintenance
TAB baseline data becomes the reference for future maintenance. Deviations from baseline indicate filter clogging, damper drift, or control faults before occupants complain.
