Local authorities, in addition to national organizations such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the International Code Council (ICC), are the ones responsible for defining the standards and norms that apply to FLS systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

The key to a comfortable and efficient space is the design and function of a building's HVAC systems. The testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of the systems is what ensures they are functioning properly.

What is testing, adjusting and balancing? Testing, adjusting and balancing is the process of evaluating temperature and environmental control systems to ensure they're heating or cooling according to design specifications and at the equipment's best level of efficiency.

TAB stands for Testing, Adjusting and Balancing for HVAC systems. It refers to the steps taken by HVAC contractors to calibrate the HVAC unit in commercial establishments to achieve optimal performance and air quality. 

Use tabs to alternate between views within the same context, not to navigate to different areas. This is the single most important point, because staying in place while alternating views is the reason we have tabs in the first place. 

Generally, a tab is the same width as 4 to 5 spaces provided the font being used equally sizes each character. For example, the Courier font's tab equals 5 spaces, whereas the Arial font is 11 spaces to each tab when the font size for both is set to 12.
