Why do I need an air balance?

You need an air balance if:

• A city or county health or building department requires a test before opening a new facility.
• The building architect recommends a test to certify compliance with the designed system requirements.
• Energy costs are too high. Depending on the facility layout, the kitchen ventilation system can account for up to 50 percent of the HVAC load and may represent one of the larger energy-consuming end uses within a commercial food service facility. 
• You are experiencing the “can’t-open-the-door” syndrome due to negative building pressure or a hard shutting door due to positive building pressure.
• There is excessive smoke beyond the exhaust hood, which should capture and contain all grease laden vapors.
