Story of my life doing this job, it seems to be a never ending fault finding of a bad install

Wow. This is very technical and in depth. I love to take on this challenge.

If Test and Balance can be done? Do you mean you “ verify that the systems are installed and ready for balancing “? Im a Test and Balance Engineer and I’m not sure how I feel about this video. It feels as if it only captures the absolute minimum of what we actually do.

But how do you achieve a positive net building pressure with only closed loop RTUs and exhaust fans without any MUA units? Only large buildings and restaurants have MUAs.

This video is completly fabricated. Actually testing and balancing a system is more complicated than this.
