Troubleshooting – Airflow

Test and Balance Report

The Test and Balance Report (TAB) is utilized to determine whether the appropriate amount of outdoor air 
and exhaust air is being supplied and removed from a building, respectively. There are no set rules on what 
information must be included in a TAB report. As such, if a TAB report indicates that the airflow on a unit is low, 
prior to contacting the factory, please determine the following information:

Airflow problems can often be tied back to improper ductwork installation. Be sure to install ductwork in 
accordance with SMACNA and AMCA guidelines.
