Building Owners

United has completed numerous projects working directly for the ownership, that provided noticeable changes in the way the space operates, as well as the efficiency of the systems. Working directly for a building owner allows us to create a relationship and directly obtain feedback about how our changes affect everything from comfort of occupants to the cost of operating the facility.

 

What is TAB?

Test and Balance at it’s simplest is optimizing the HVAC system to work as designed. Do you have hot or cold spots? Units that run continuously and never satisfy? Using our specialized instruments we come in and work with what you have already installed to provide the right amount of airflow to all the spaces served by your HVAC systems.

Existing Buildings

Every project is different, so for best results contact us and let’s discuss what is best for you. Below are some things we have done in the past with building owners.

  • Audit – Let us come look at your building, take some readings and discuss your options, don’t waste your money on something that isn’t necessary.
  • LEED Accreditation – Outside Air Flow Measurements, Re-Commissioning
  • Retro-Commissioning
  • Yearly Inspections for TDH (Hospitals)
  • Pressurization Readings (Hospitals and Labs)
  • Yearly Fume Hood Inspections (Velocity and Tracer Gas)

Different Certifications

We have found that a lot of the prejudice requiring a specific certification are outdated, or meant to stop a particular firm. We go above and beyond the items requested in the different procedural standard and provide a similar report to the AABC requirements. Additionally, in lieu of the AABC “Total Balance” that involves a limited checkout of controls, we can provide a complete Building Systems Commissioning. We have even partnered with another Cx Firm to provide an independent NEBB/ACG Building Commissioning at a competitive price.

General Contractors

Our experience with General Contractors has taught us a lot about their values. Every GC wants to deliver a quality product, on time and under budget. United also shares these values, and has a reputation for delivering them. By partnering with the General Contractor money can be saved, and scheduling can be improved.

Under Budget

Our advanced technology and training has allowed for us to price projects more competitively than other firms, and having a history of success on larger projects our pricing goes down and not up the larger the project.
