Verified airflow
Measure airflow and air volume to confirm the system is delivering the required ventilation performance.
Performance Testing
Professional ventilation performance testing, measuring airflow, air volume and system performance to verify ventilation systems are operating safely, efficiently and as designed.
Overview
About the service.
Effective ventilation is essential for maintaining healthy indoor environments, controlling airborne contaminants and ensuring buildings operate as intended. Without accurate testing, ventilation systems may deliver insufficient airflow, operate inefficiently or fail to meet their original design requirements.
At VMES, we provide specialist ventilation performance testing to evaluate airflow rates, air distribution and overall system effectiveness. Through precise measurements, system assessments and airflow balancing, we help organisations identify deficiencies, optimise ventilation performance and demonstrate compliance with relevant standards.
What’s included
- Ventilation system assessments
- Airflow and air volume measurements
- Airflow balancing and adjustments
- System performance verification
- Testing and compliance reporting
How it works
From testing to report.
A clear, accountable process — supported by accurate measurements.
01
Review
We review the ventilation system, its intended operation and any available drawings, commissioning information or previous test records.
02
Measure
Using calibrated instruments, we measure airflow, air volume, air velocity and other relevant system performance data.
03
Evaluate
The results are assessed to identify airflow restrictions, system imbalances or areas where performance differs from expected operation.
04
Report
You receive a comprehensive report detailing the test results, observations and practical recommendations for any balancing adjustments or remedial works.
Why it matters
Maintaining System Performance.
Routine performance testing helps ensure ventilation systems continue operating efficiently, safely and as intended.
Improved efficiency
Identify restrictions, imbalances and performance losses that may increase energy consumption.
Balanced systems
Correct airflow distribution helps improve comfort, ventilation effectiveness and overall system operation.
Evidence-based decisions
Accurate performance data supports maintenance planning, commissioning and future remedial works.
FAQs
Common questions.
What is ventilation performance testing?
Ventilation performance testing measures airflow, air volume and system operation to determine whether a ventilation system is performing as intended and delivering effective ventilation.
Do you carry out system balancing?
Yes. We can assess airflow distribution throughout the ventilation system and carry out balancing adjustments where required to help achieve the intended system performance.
When should ventilation systems be performance tested?
Performance testing is recommended following installation, after significant alterations, when poor airflow is suspected or as part of a planned maintenance strategy to verify ongoing system performance.
What do I receive after the testing?
Every project includes a detailed report containing performance measurements, test results, observations and recommendations, providing a clear record of your ventilation system’s operating performance.
