Design Airflow Verification
Every diffuser and grille checked against the mechanical drawings' specified airflow — not a general assumption about what "should" be moving.

Commercial Air Balancing
for Calgary Buildings
Balanced airflow is not optional — it is the foundation of every efficient, comfortable, and code-compliant commercial building. PCS deploys digital capture hoods, calibrated anemometers, and real-time data logging to measure, adjust, and certify your HVAC system to design specifications.

Balanced airflow is not optional — it is the foundation of every efficient, comfortable, and code-compliant commercial building. PCS deploys digital capture hoods, calibrated anemometers, and real-time data logging to measure, adjust, and certify your HVAC system to design specifications.
Every project concludes with a certified balancing report: timestamped readings, deviation analysis, and corrective adjustments — documentation your facility manager, engineer, and insurer can rely on.
Air balancing is one part of full HVAC commissioning. For new construction and major retrofits, PCS also verifies control sequences and design intent across the whole mechanical system — see our HVAC commissioning services in Calgary. Working with a mechanical contractor instead of the owner directly? See our TAB subcontracting page.
Every PCS report follows a consistent certified format. Download a sample to review our documentation standard before your first job.

A single scope covering every terminal in the system — measured, tested, and documented to ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 111-2024.
Digital Capture Hood Testing
Direct volumetric readings at every supply and return terminal using calibrated digital capture hoods — not estimates.
Anemometer Cross-Checks
Rotating vane anemometer readings at grilles and ductwork confirm hood readings and verify duct velocity independently.
Real-Time Data Logging
Every reading timestamped and logged electronically as it is taken — not transcribed later from a clipboard.
Deviation Adjustment
Dampers, VFDs, and terminal boxes adjusted on site until every outlet lands inside design tolerance.
Certified Balancing Report
One documented report — readings, deviation analysis, and adjustments — ready for the owner, the engineer, and the city inspector.
How Air Balancing Works
Four steps from design drawings to a certified report.
Design Review
PCS reviews the mechanical drawings and design airflow values before any field work begins, so every reading is measured against the right numbers.
Field Measurement
Digital capture hoods and anemometers measure actual airflow at every supply, return, and exhaust terminal in the system.
Adjustment to Design
Dampers, VFDs, and terminal boxes are adjusted until every outlet lands inside tolerance of its design value.
Certified Report
A certified balancing report is delivered digitally — ready to hand to the facility manager, the engineer, or the building inspector.
