Bringing Together the Best of the Pacific Southwest
Welcome to
Pacific Southwest NEBB
NEBB is the premier international certifying association for firms and individuals that deliver high performance buildings and systems. The newly joined forces of Pacific Southwest NEBB consists of National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB) U.S.A. members from California, Hawaii and Nevada.
As of January 1st, 2024, Pacific Southwest NEBB has welcomed Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan to the chapter.
PSW NEBB represents 97 NEBB Certified Firms.
Our mission is to assist architects, engineers, contractors and owners by providing superior service in testing, adjusting and balancing of HVAC systems. Technical and Practical Testing is now performed at our lab facility in San Dimas, CA.
NEBB Certified Firms Provide
-
By pressure testing the whole building and leak testing various zones and components, Building Enclosure Testing validates the effectiveness of all air barriers. This seal of approval helps reduce energy consumption, while providing a comfortable environment for all occupants.
-
Using a systematic approach to verify all systems are operating per contract requirements, commissioning ensures fully functional building. By testing the performance of all building systems, and tracking and mitigating all issues, NEBB’s approach goes above and beyond the standard commissioning process.
-
Through proper instrumentation and documentation, Cleanroom Performance Testing verifies environmental pollutants, per standards and specifications, are not present. Expertise in required standards and guidelines, applied HVAC theory, filtration collection mechanisms, instrumentation, and reporting allow for cleanroom assurance and optimization.
-
To determine proper ventilation, thorough knowledge of the interaction of fume hoods, exhaust systems, and the laboratory system itself is required. By affirming expertise in HVAC dynamics and laboratory design, as well as an ability to properly utilize instrumentation, certification in Fume Hood Performance Testing assures an expert to confirm performance of the fume hood, laboratory, and system.
-
Ensuring proper methodology and criteria for noise measurement, instrumentation usage and field calibration, as well as proper report documentation, Sound Measurement and analysis plays an important role in providing space usage for various commercial, manufacturing and industrial activities.
-
By going back to basics to assess what is working well and what may need replacement, Technical Retro-Commissioning of Existing Buildings is the thorough compilation of building data and analysis, as well as providing strategic planning and execution. From data collection and field verification to testing, analyzation, and documentation of facts, this discipline aims to provide optimal performance.
-
Allowing HVAC systems to meet or exceed the performance levels of their design specifications, Testing, Adjusting and Balancing helps provide environmentally efficient buildings. Using specialized instruments, this methodical regulation of the system is intended to evaluate equipment and system performance, and proper adjustment of the balancing devices when necessary. It provides building owners and tenants with optimal environmental performance, while minimizing costs through efficiency.
