Overview The motivation for developing a series of TAB forms in spreadsheet form was to reduce clutter on the job site, increase legibility of the entered data, increase form functionality, especially in an inclement environment, and increase the productivity of field personnel. The spreadsheets were developed in the MS Excel? environment because it is familiar to most people, customizable, portable to a number of platforms, and the data is easily exportable. I developed the spreadsheets for use on a PDA but they could just as easily be loaded onto a laptop, netbook, or phone. You will need an MS Office emulator to run these spreadsheets on a PDA or phone. I use “Documents To Go” from DataViz. I started using these spreadsheets in 2006 and quickly found them to be superior to paper forms in the field, especially outdoors in inclement weather. They are as easy to customize to a particular job as paper forms and provide the added functionality of automatic calculations, especially the duct traverse calculators and the adjusted airflow forms. For more information please see the paper “A Preliminary Evaluation of Electronic Data Collection in the Field” where I compare paper forms, spreadsheet-based forms, and a commercially available electronic TAB form program. The following sections detail the various forms and how to fill them out and use them. The downloadable spreadsheets are in the ‘raw’ form and have not been customized with blanked or colored cells. Fan Data Form This form is used to record fan data and is fairly straightforward. All of the fields present on a standard TAB form are on the left-hand side. The fan or unit designation goes in the upper row as shown: Fan Data AHU-1 SF AHU-1 RF AHU-2 SF AHU-2 RF FCU 1-2 FCU 2-3 The form has three parts: The unit data, test data, and notes section. The fields in each section can be customized as the organization or job requires. Brake Horsepower (BHP) Form This form uses nameplate
