Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.

Most Dudley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Conservation areas
