HVAC Performance Audits & Investigative Field Testing

Targeted field measurements, operational checks, and system behaviour analysis for consultants, facility teams, and owners who need clear pre-design data or objective evidence before planning upgrades, renovations, or full TAB.

Pre-design & pre-TAB baseline testing

Healthcare, commercial & institutional

Purpose & scope

When a full balance isn’t needed—but accurate data is.

Performance audits provide a measured snapshot of HVAC behaviour without the scope of full TAB or commissioning. They support consultants, design teams, and facility managers by supplying real operating data before decisions are made about redesigns, upgrades, or problem investigations.

Pre-design baseline studies

When drawings are outdated or assumptions aren’t enough, we collect field data engineers can safely design around.

Troubleshooting targeted issues

For airflow, pressure, comfort, or mode-related issues where a focused investigation is more practical than a full balance.

Pre-upgrade / pre-retrofit audits

Independent evidence on how systems currently operate before equipment replacements or control upgrades.

Field measurements

Targeted testing to confirm real system behaviour.

Audits focus on representative checks—not building-wide adjustment— to reveal how airside, waterside, and control systems interact under normal operating conditions.

Airside observations

Spot airflow measurements at key terminals or branches
Comparison of supply vs exhaust behaviour
Pressure readings between rooms, corridors, and shafts

Hydronic & mechanical checks

Coil DP readings where accessible
Temperature checks at key equipment
General confirmation of flow availability to major loads

Controls & monitoring review

Spot comparison of BAS values to field instruments
High-level review of trends, setpoints & mode changes
Identification of overrides and abnormal behaviour

Uses & applications

Built to support design, planning, and operational decisions.

Performance audits are meant to reduce uncertainty and inform the next step—whether that’s a redesign, a control strategy change, or a targeted balance on specific floors or systems.

For consultants & design teams

Pre-design airflow, pressure, and temperature data
Confirmation of realistic operating conditions before modelling
Evidence to support “repair vs replace” decisions

For facility & operations teams

Independent second opinion on persistent system issues
Prioritized list of systems needing attention or full TAB
Baseline for future renovation or upgrade planning

Deliverables

Clear, concise data packages for engineering and operations.

Not a commissioning binder—just the essential, verified information required to support design, troubleshooting, or planning decisions.
