Professional Air Balance: HVAC performance based solutions and design

Mission critical · Infrastructure · Consultative

Facilities that perform exactly as designed.

We assess, commission, balance and run the mechanical systems behind military bases, hospitals, schools and data centers, so the infrastructure you depend on does what it was built to do.

Life cycle solutions

Why PAB

No fancy presentations. Real answers.

Case study · International School of Beijing

Clean indoor air, whatever the outdoor reading.

Thirty-five new fresh-air handlers with HEPA filtration and positive building pressurization cut indoor fine-particle levels from 17 to 3 µg/m³, holding steady even when outdoor readings topped 270.
