New Construction

Proper operation and design inherently lead to a more efficient and easier-to-maintain facilities. Commissioning ideally begin in the design phase of a new or renovated building. They are often a cornerstone for Green Building Certifications. Operation and maintenance start-up activities and diagnostic testing are primarily used to verify operation of the building systems, and to ensure the systems are operating at their intended set-points. 

 

Existing Buildings

After a period of occupancy, buildings typically go through operational and possibly even use changes. Existing Building Commissioning, also known as Retro-Commissioning, can help you confirm the systems were installed and operate as originally designed, and to evaluate whether they meets the needs of your current operations. Building Retro-Commissioning begins with an energy audit.

​

One of the primary benefits is that it reduces energy and maintenance costs by balancing, adjusting, and/or replacing building systems and equipment to efficiently meet the operational needs of the facility.

 

How We Can Help

Our experts focus on analyzing the dynamic energy-using systems with the goal of reducing energy waste, obtaining energy cost savings, and identifying and correcting deficiencies. It is a quality management approach that provides better performance and reduced operating cost, quantified through cost analysis modeling. We implement Commissioning programs focused on all of a building’s energy-related systems, including:

• Heating & Cooling Equipment

• Air Handling Equipment

• Electrical & Lighting

• Plumbing & Piping

• Building Envelope & Aerial Infrared

 

Benefits

• Improve performance of building equipment and building systems interactions

• Increase energy efficiency

• Reduce operation & maintenance costs

• Improve indoor air quality, occupant comfort & productivity

• Reduce risk to building owner

 

Whether your building is new or old, Building Commissioning can help to ensure energy-related systems are operating as desired. To engage our Commissioning experts at or to learn more, contact us today.
