Building systems continue to grow more sophisticated and complex with the promise of improved performance, comfort, indoor
air quality and energy efficiency. Unfortunately, the complexity of these systems is often their downfall. They are
frequently installed and operated improperly and thus fail to deliver on their high potential and do not meet the
performance expectations of occupants and owners.
This dynamic is more commonly found in high-performance buildings, where investments in building systems were made based upon targeted expectations. There must be a well-defined process in place during the building development to ensure that the systems are installed correctly and meet the project goals. This is where Commissioning services come into play.
Commissioning is essentially a sophisticated quality-assurance process developed to confirm that buildings systems are designed, installed and operated to anticipated performance levels and certification requirements. Green Building Services acts as the commissioning authority and as an advocate to building owners looking to make sure that their large investments in these systems align with their expectations.
Verifying that a building achieves its energy efficiency goals is a critical component of the LEED® process. Under the USGBC's LEED® guidelines, project teams can implement Fundamental Commissioning and Enhanced Commissioning to optimize performance. In fact, fundamental commissioning is currently a LEED® pre-requisite for any new or existing building hoping to attain certification.
Our Green Building Services Commissioning team can execute a number of critical steps that building owners and operators are discovering are necessary steps in order to ensure a sustainable approach to their built environment. Our team delivers and has experience with building ASHRAE level 1 & 2 energy audits, retro-commissioning, and a number of additional technical services.
