Building Commissioning
What is commissioning?
New construction commissioning is the process of ensuring that systems are designed, installed, functionally tested,
and performing in conformity with the design intent. Existing building commissioning, or retrocommissioning, applies
a systematic process for improving and optimizing a building’s operations and supporting those improvements with
enhanced documentation and operator training.
Most new buildings being developed today will not work well unless a formal business commissioning program is properly employed. A commissioning program is critical for complex facilities, and for some owners who may not have the luxury of a technically strong operations staff, commissioning is often the most important part of the capital project.
Our technical staff includes LEED® Accredited Professionals and Building Automation System specialists with years of building commissioning experience.
Our mission is to provide superior technical services that optimize facility performance for the owner's best long-term value. We are dedicated to providing quality assurance services and innovative solutions to maximize facility operating efficiencies. We are committed to helping the facility owner and manager maximize the return on their largest investment - their facility.

ASHRAE Guideline , The Commissioning Process, defines commissioning as "a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined objectives and criteria". Commissioning is therefore an "umbrella" process for all the planning, delivery, verification, and managing risks to critical functions performed in, or by, facilities. Commissioning uncovers deficiencies in design or installation using peer review and field verification. Commissioning also accomplishes higher energy efficiency, environmental health, and occupant safety and improves indoor air quality. Commissioning is a quality assurance-based process that delivers preventive and predictive maintenance plans, tailored operating manuals, and training procedures. Essentially, the commissioning process formalizes review and integration of all project expectations during planning, design, construction, and occupancy phases by inspection and functional performance testing, and oversight of operator training and record documentation.
