"Systems balancing" and "Hydronic balancing" sounds fishy to me.  Can you explain your trade a little bit? ???

An "air balance" is a useful process for measuring the performance of a simple or complex hvac system, and for providing the occupants with a comfortably conditioned space.

Hydronic balancing is like a colonic irrigation for radiators!     Well nearly anyway.

No fish involved
Hydronic , fancy word for water
Yes, measuring water flow in rads, coils, and pumps

After about 1200 km avg is 15.7 l/100 km probably 2 litres better
The rise is much better
