	In addition to resetting HVAC systems to their proper operating conditions, balancing activities can help improve overall efficiency and decrease energy demands. HVAC balancing can also help to increase the operational lifespan of equipment by repairing mechanical issues that occur over time. Building occupants should also experience more comfortable temperatures and improved indoor air quality as a result of the HVAC balancing process.
