COMMISSIONING SERVICES

The objective of commissioning is to provide documented confirmation that the facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of the building owner, occupants, and operators.  It is also a prerequisite to obtain a LEED rating. To reach this goal, it is necessary for the commissioning process to establish and document the Owner’s project requirements for system function, performance, and maintainability and to also verify and document compliance with these criteria throughout construction and start-up.

The commissioning process can also be applied to existing buildings that have never been commissioned to restore them to optimal performance.  Retro commissioning (RCx) is a systematic, documented process that identifies low-cost operational and maintenance improvements. This process that identifies low-cost operational and maintenance improvements in existing buildings and brings the buildings up to the design intentions of its current usage.
