Develop Skills in Total System Balancing with TAB Professional Training
As a TAB (Testing and Balancing) professional, you play a critical role in ensuring HVAC systems perform at their best,
verifying airflow, water flow, and system pressures.
This training is designed to give you the technical knowledge, hands-on experience,
and certification-ready skills you need to succeed.
With a progressive learning path, you’ll build expertise step-by-step,
starting with the fundamentals and advancing toward complex applications.
TAB Fundamentals
This course combines classroom learning with practical experience to build a strong foundation in testing and balancing HVAC systems. Students study core topics such as thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, psychrometrics, electricity, and system safety, while also gaining a working understanding of TAB calculations and HVAC equipment.
TAB Air & Water Systems
This course prepares students to balance HVAC systems in commercial buildings through a combination of classroom learning and practical training. It covers key topics such as reading construction documents, performing air leakage tests, control sequences, hydronic and air balancing procedures, duct system effects, acoustics, kitchen ventilation, and pre-TAB planning.
Control Systems Verification
This course combines classroom instruction with practical training to prepare students for real-world HVAC control system verification. Classroom learning builds a foundation in control theory, networking, programming, sensor types, control devices, calibration, sequence verification, safety devices, and circuits. Hands-on training using custom HVAC simulation workstations reinforces these concepts through applied learning.
TAB Advanced Air & Water Systems
This course trains students in Total System Balancing for complex HVAC systems required for the AABC Test and Balance Engineer (TBE) Exam. The program covers advanced topics such as UFAD, smoke control testing, energy recovery, laboratory and healthcare HVAC, chilled beams, steam fundamentals, vibration testing, and chilled and heating water systems.
