Sound and Vibration ...

Utilization of specialized sound and vibration instrumentation allows SITA to obtain and provide data for evaluation to client engineers. Measurements can be obtained in both internal and external environments. Determination of the noise in a related  frequency or determining abnormal vibration allow for the pinpointing of specific problem equipment for the engineer and/or building owner.

Commissioning...

Commissioning is a systematic process which entails a team approach to ensure  a properly functioning and energy efficient HVAC system. Our firm is certified by AABC as a commissioning agent. Such certification provides national guidelines for HVAC commissioning of new construction and of existing buildings. It includes design review, installation verification, proper system start-up, functional performance tests, operations and maintenance training and complete documentation of the HVAC systems. This engineering service ensures the owner a facility with systems that perform as specified, intended and paid for.

Air Balancing...

Testing and adjusting of building air systems in a prescribed manner will improve equipment operation and verify the correctness of the installation and the engineer's design. The final result of system adjusting is to improve comfort  and reduce energy costs. The equipment tested in this segment of the process includes supply, return and exhaust fans, air volume control boxes and supply, return and exhaust diffusers.

Water Balancing...

Testing and adjusting of building water systems will provide the same benefits as those provided by air balancing. In order to achieve these results pumps, chillers, cooling towers, flow devices, and coils require proper testing and balancing.

Indoor Air Quality...

The quality of a buildings environment is the direct result of proper HVAC systems design and correct testing and adjusting. According to the National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety, 53% of all indoor air quality problems may be remedied by providing adequate ventilation with appropriate amounts of outside air coupled with suitable filtration. SITA is able to provide air volume, temperature, humidity, CO2 and CO measurements with recommendations to resolve indoor air quality deficiencies.
